Tuesday Tips for Parents/Guardians and Grandparents

February 11, 2025

Good evening all! Welcome to Cyber Safety Week. The school have been very active on the topic of  internet safety and the role parents/guardians and grandparents have in this too. Ms Howard and Ms Doherty  created a newsletter highlighting issues around cyber safety and have created a number of tips and  challenges for you and your child. There is a very interesting student  survey showing the results of questions based around internet usage. This potentially  could form a good basis for a discussion around students internet consumption. Please follow the link  to information on cyber safety. And Ms Doherty has created a document offering both tips and challenges for this week, please follow this link

Mercy Beaumont was the starting line for the HSCLs Wednesday Morning Walk for Parents/Guardians and Grand parents. We had a very pleasant time and got some steps in with,  parents mixing from all schools. Some even brought their dogs too! It all happens again tomorrow but this time for St Mary’s Holy Faith, Killester. It all kicks off at 9.15am and I will be there to encourage you along the way! New walkers are most welcome.

We had a lovely morning of  making candles, creativity and chatting today. I want to say a big thank you to all who particip

ated, you are a joy to be with. I am hoping that we will do it all over again ( with some additions)next term.  Watch this space!

We have a great mixture of identities, cultures and races at Mercy Beaumont. This is forms a great opportunity to learn  about things that we wouldn’t normally know about.  Two of our  brave first year parents Faudoma and  Nada  have very kindly volunteered to do a cooking demonstration on Thurs, 27th of Feb. in the school kitchen.   They will be demonstrating how to cook a good butter chicken and flat breads. We are hoping to have samples of the food for any one who participates and it will be happening towards the end of the first year PTM at 6.15pm. All are welcome! 

Yoga Class for parents/guardians and grandparents, is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9.30am. Newcomers are always welcome! It is free of charge!
