Well done to the school Senior Gaelic team who won their first league match today against Bracken ETNS. It was a very entertaining game played in extremely cold conditions. The team wore their new jerseys today for the first time. These have been very kindly sponsored by the Parent's Association.

On Thursday 22nd February 5th & 6th Class travelled to the Green-Schools Expo 2018 in the RDS. It was a day dedicated to Climate Action and inspiring each other to tackling climate change in our schools, homes and communities. There were experiments, activities, games and much more in themed zones: Marine, Litter, Energy, Water, Travel, Biodiversity and Global Citizenship.

 

This will all go towards the school's 7th green flag for Global Citizenship & Energy.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation or First Confession is on Monday 19th of February in St. Patrick's Church, Skerries. All candidates for First Communion should attend.  Many thanks to Ms Smith for her hard work in preparing the children.

On Monday 12th of February the senior classes 3rd-6th had workshops exploring Climate Change with Enda Reilly.  This was Enda's second visit to the school. The visit was hugely entertaining as the children shared their knowledge of the issue and gained new information.  All of this was interspersed with Enda's unique songs and fun.  

 

The school is closed for Mid-Term break on Wednesday 14th, Thursday 15th and Friday 16th of February. The school reopens on Monday 19th of February.

The school is celebrating Catholic Schools Week from Monday 29th January-Friday 2nd February.
