Staff Shout Out

We need to do a huge ‘Shout Out’ to say thanks to one of our wonderful staff members who made this amazing Busy Board for our garden. The children absolutely love it, and it is a great addition to the garden. Thank you Roberto.

We are a Changemaker School

As we come to the end of another school year, we are looking back on some of the things we learned about as a whole school this year. We are also celebrating all of the wonderful work we have done. In June we had a Changemakers Week where we learned all about what it is to be a Changemaker and why our school is a Changemaker School. Have a look at some of the pieces that our children made for our new Changemaker noticeboard.

Have a look at the video below to see some of what we were learning about being Changemakers.

Remote Control Cars, CODY & St Ultans Care Service

Last week, thanks to the staff in our Care Service, all the boys and girls in 5th and 6th class got to take part in a remote control car competition with Pat and Shauna from the CODY project. Huge thanks to Pat, Shauna and Stephen for organizing. Everyone had a great time… especially the children in Múinteoir Micheál’s 5th class who won the competition!

CODY stands for Cherry Orchard Developing Youth. You can find out more about the project here: http://cherryorchard.ie/index.php/integrated-youth-services/
