You should have all received your child’s school report on Tuesday 19th June.School requisites for next year are also included with the reports . All classes are included in our book rental scheme . The scheme has served us well and hopefully will continue into the future. The school will purchase all the books necessary and parents will pay a book rental fee. Next year’s fee for book rental will be €50 per child.
Voluntary Contribution
The voluntary contribution goes to offset some of the expenses involved in the following; Arts and crafts, extra photocopying /progress folders/ copies /plastic pockets etc.
It is €35 per child. In the case of families with three or more children the maximum contribution is €70. Please pay in September in an envelope marked “Voluntary Contribution” with your family name clearly marked on the envelope.
