As you all are aware by now , a new secondary school will open in Citywest in 2020, following many years of hard work and dedication by parents, students and staff in our school community. The patronage of this new school will now be decided by an Online Patronage Process System (OPPS) where Parents/Guardians will get to vote for their preferred patron to run this school. Please see the information below on how to vote:

• Get your child/children’s PPS numbers and your eircode to hand.

The vote is open to all children in the defined geographic area of the Tallaght and Rathcoole/Newcastle School Districts, between 2nd to 6th Class, with parents getting one vote per child, voting will take place from 9th September to 4th October 2019. This is a unique, historical opportunity for you to shape the future of our wonderfully diverse and vibrant community.
We cannot stress enough how important it is to use your vote!!
Thank you for your time and most importantly for making the choice for real equality based education for the whole community!

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!
