DONATIONS – We are appealing for old dress-up costumes and any fancy clothes suitable for our dress-up box – (for the children!) Please send the donations into the class teacher.

BOARD OF MANAGEMENT – The Board met on 15^th May 2014 and the Principal provided an update regarding enrolment and the school curriculum. The Board reviewed and approved the draft drama policy. The Treasurer provided an update regarding the school finances, and the Board agreed to the appointment of an auditor to certify the accounts, as required. The Board noted the significant levels of parental involvement in a number of activities, in particular the really successful and enjoyable Active Schools Week. Thanks to all! The Board discussed the anticipated school move to Basin Lane and parents will be provided with an update regarding the arrangements shortly when all details have been finalised.

Have a nice weekend.
