PARTNERSHIPS

Our school is very lucky to have great partnerships with our local community and parents.

In January 2019, third class got the opportunity to experience what it is like to play soccer when you are blind.
A huge thank you to parent, Nick Harrison who came in to coach this session. Nick works as a disability coach with the FAI.

The Walking Bus is back for 2018

The Walking Bus would not be possible without the organisation done by Mrs Daly! Thank you to all the parents who volunteer. Our partnership with our parents is a very important part of our school. We had 100 girls walking last Friday 19th, 2018 and the Golden Boot Award went to 4th class. Well done to everyone.
