SCHOOL CELLPHONE

If your child is going to be away from school or you need to leave a message at the office please remember that we have a school  cellphone—number 027-757-0272.

It is important that children are protected from the harmful UV rays when playing outside.  

Although we have some sunscreen in rooms we would prefer it if you as parents, would provide your own child’s sunblock, as many children are allergic to different products.   We would like our children to take responsibility for their own wellbeing.    

Can you also make sure that children wear sunhats to school.

KELLY SPORTS

Is again offering its multisport programme on Tuesdays after school this term.  This is designed specifically so children can experience a range of sports.  For those who have never joined a club before it gives them the confidence to give sport a go.  For further information or to enroll please contact Duncan Murray on        or  phone 232-9409.
