This year we are having a non-uniform day on Tuesday 21st December. All children and staff on Campus are invited to wear any Christmas or Winter themed clothes. The cost is 2 per child or €5 per family, and all donations received will go towards the Cherry Orchard Branch of Barnardos.
Christmas Concerts Update
Due to the school closures this week we have had to reschedule some of the classes filming for Christmas concerts. Your child’s class teacher will let you know the new dates, and if children need to wear Christmas clothes to school on these days.
The videos will all be available on our website on Tuesday 21st December.

Christmas in St. Ultans
Hi Everyone,
Have a look at the pictures to find out about some of the events we have planned for children for the next few weeks!
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 hope all the boys and girls enjoyed catching up with their friends on their first day back at school.
Here are some some reminders for parents to help with getting settled back to school. If you have any other urgent questions please call the school office or send a dojo.
Thanks!
Welcome Back for 21/22
Hi Everyone
Just a quick note to say ‘Welcome Back ‘ after the summer holidays. We hope everyone had a lovely break and look forward to seeing you all back in our classrooms next Tuesday.
Below is a list of all our classes for this year.
St. Ultan’s Classes 21/22
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/
