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!

Last evening we had a great time at the NCI “Stretch to Learn” Awards Ceremony in the College. 15 of our girls received their awards from Dr. Philip Matthews, the new President of the NCI and their parents and themselves had a splendid party afterwards. We extend our thanks to everyone involved and especially to Brigina who links so well with the school. Well done, everyone!!
