Once again, we are taking part in the Clanna Gael/Fontenoy Annual All-Ireland Footballo Final Forecast. The final takes place next Sunday between Cork and Down. Information on this is available on the Parents’ Notice Board outside the front door. The money raised for the school is most welcome when it comes to running our many sporting and other activites during the school year. This competition is supported by schools throughout Ireland and has been in existence for many years.

All Sponsor Cards (whether completed or not) must be returnrd by next Thursday morning to have them returned in time for the competition. Further information is available through www.clannagaelfontenoy.ie 

Thank you for your support!

Here are some photos of our new Junior Infants on their first day with Ms Ryan… They are SO grown up!!

The new school year kicks off on Monday (August 30th) at 8.50 am… Best Wishes for the new school year, especially to our new arrivals in Junior Infants!!

Earlier in the day, Mr. Lehmann and the girls in 6th Class represented the school extremely admirably in the NCI’s “Educational Guidance Programme”, displaying their posters and PowerPoint presentation on the vagaries of transition from Primary to Secondary Level. Their findings were very interesting, especially on the subject of increased stress levels, expressed by a selection of students who have recently made the transition. Mr. Lehmann spoke very eloquently on the process involved in reaching the girls conclusions from their studies and he hosted a very stimulating “Q and A” with two of the girls afterwards. VERY impressive stuff!!!

Our thanks again to all at NCI for intiating this programme…very well done to all concerned!
