Good evening alll and welcome back after the mid term break. The nights are getting longer and the lights will be on at school this week, with the third year PTM on Thursday and the Parents Association Annual General Meeting tomorrow evening at 7pm. Students are practising their routines for the International Day Show and staff had a planning meeting today in preparation for Nov 29th. So a lot to look forward too there. The Market Day will be coming up in early December. 

The Parents Yoga Class will be continuing tomorrow morning  with Eibhinn. It is a lovely and popular  class with parents, so come early to avoid disappointment.

Olivia’s Craft Class began today and will be running up until Christmas. They are creating decorated customised tote bags to be used as you want. The choice of material is paint and the parents thouroughly enjoyed a relaxing morning of art and craft. There is room for many more parents , so please don’t be shy and come along on Tuesday mornings.
