On Thursday 25th of October the Parents' Association and Student Council worked together to organise a fun filled day for everyone in our school community. With the PA hosting the ever popular cake sale and the Student Council hosting a dress up day there was a great buzz around the school! So much effort was put in to the cakes and costumes, thank you so much to everyone who brought something along and well done to the best dressed winners who received a voucher for the cake sale donated by the PA.
Over €1000 was raised on the day, this will go towards the cost of the 6th class school tour which will be an over night stay in an adventure centre and is something all families in our community will eventually benefit from!

As always a MASSIVE thank you to all of the volunteers which included students from 6th class who gave their time in the lead up to and on the day of this event!

All parents are invited to come along to the upcoming Parents' Association Meeting on Tuesday 24th of April at 7.30pm in the school. Discussion will be around upcoming events and PA involvement in school initiatives for the next few weeks. All welcome!

On Wednesday 14th March Klaudia held another of her wonderful arts and crafts workshops for everyone in our school community. Even though our school did not participate in the Saggart/Rathcoole parade this year, Klaudia organised the workshop so everyone would have something to take with them to whatever parade they went to! It was such a fun afternoon full of colour and enthusiasm- a big thanks to Klaudia for organising it!

Following on from the success of last year, the Parents' Association decided to host another lovely Pancake Tuesday event for all the children and staff at our school! A huge thank you to all the parent volunteers - Joanne, Nandan, Yani, Yasmine (along with her wonderful daughter), Cher, Georgina, Olga, Elizabeth and Jimmy - who volunteered their time to shop for pancakes and toppings, squeeze lemons, heat, prepare and then serve them to everybody! It was a wonderful team effort which made the day that little bit more exciting for all the children! 

As a lot of you already know there is currently NO second level school in Citywest! Hard to believe when there are 4 primary schools all within in a short distance of each other. The Citywest Educate Together Second Level Campaign group have been working tirelessly since 2014 to rectify this situation as our children URGENTLY need a second level school to progress onto! We need everyone in our school community to visit our Campaign page for all the up to date information and to please get involved in any way you can! If you haven't already please fill out the Expression of Interest form which can be found at the top of the campaign page. 
The Campaign group are meeting tomorrow evening, 25th January @ 9pm in Citywest Hotel. All welcome!!

The first Parents' Association meeting of 2018 will take place on Wednesday 24th January at 7.30pm in the school.

Hope to see  you there!
