Safety in school grounds
I really need your help parents and remind you:
That we operate a 'drop off zone' and a one way system. We have had a few 'near misses as parents have not followed the one way system and have 'cut off' across the flow of traffic, to park in the area beside the canteen. I am very fearful that we will have an accident.
- That you need to be so careful when dropping off children. Pupils should disembark onto the pavement- not onto the road/ car park side, where cars are busily trying to depart.
- When driving off from your'drop off position' that you need to be mindful of other cars coming up from behind. We have had a few 'near collisions' re this.
- That buses are being held up when some of you stay too long in your 'drop off' position. I have frequently seen the bus unable to take the bend to get to its drop off position because some of you have left your car unattended or are delaying your departure to make phone calls etc, unaware that your vehicle is blocking the way.
I know that with your support we can make the process safer for our school community.

Principal's Update 26/4/24
Dear parents,
Thanks to all of you who supported us at the feis this week. The choirs and Primary Two classes performed wonderfully and our trophy cabinet is now holding a host of new prizes. We are very proud of our children and appreciative of the parental support. I thank Mrs Noonan & Mr Clarke for their work with our two choirs. I also extend my appreciation to Miss Rocks, Miss Savage and their P2 teams for their great work. Our children are very lucky!
Thank you also to the huge number of parents/ family members who came to the P4 Holy Communion gathering on Wednesday afternoon. We really appreciated the effort you invested into making yourselves available. I am confident that we will have a wonderful sacrament with this year group. Parental involvement makes it so meaningful.
Big events for next week:
On Tuesday 30th April, Primary 5 pupils will be singing in Newry Cathedral at 11.30 AM. It will be a truly joyous occasion and I invite family and friends to attend.
On Thursday 2nd May @2pm May Miss Duffy's choral speakers will perform in Canal Court Hotel. We wish them good luck and hope to see lots of parents in the audience.
On Thursday 2nd May @ 7.30 pm Miss Duffy and her P6/7 drama group will perform the beautiful play "The Little Matchstick Girl" in Newry City Hall. All are welcome to join us.
I thank Miss Duffy for affording the pupils these lovely opportunities and I know that the children will have a wonderful time.
On Friday 3rd May the school council is organising a crazy hair/non- uniform day with proceeds going toward their charity fundraising programme.
And finally... ... . Please watch out for the school trip details which teachers have sent out. As stated, if and parent needs to talk to me about any element of the trip, please reach out to me.
I wish you a happy weekend,
yours in partnership,
Mrs Monaghan
