HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR FOOTBALLERS - u11 "A" Champions, U13 Runners Up and to our U/11 team who narrowly lost out on a County Final Place

The Monastery School is very fortunate to have such an active, interested and hard-working Parents' Council. We are very thankful to them for supplying us with the following textbooks, readers and STEM resources this year. 

Our Sixth class have adopted the new Irish Scheme Abair Liom by Folens this year. This new, attractive and interactive series is in line with the new Pimary Language Curriculum and feedback from the pupils and the teacher has been very positive so far . Boys in Rang II received a lovely parcel of 80 books from the Flying Start series this week. We are all eager to get our hands on these new graded readers. Finally, all classes from 3rd to 6th were presented with a STEM project box. This was just in time for Science Week. Over the coming weeks and months, pupils will be given the opportunity to design and make projects that incorporate science, maths and art along with design and technology skills. We will keep you updated on the projects we make.  Míle buíochas arís to our Parents' Council for supplying us with these wonderful books and resources.

 

 

Uniform P.E.

Our P.E. tracksuit is moving to a generic one comprising of a white polo t-shirt, navy round neck sweat top and plain navy bottoms - microfibre/straight-leg/no cuffs. The boys wear the school tracksuit on days that are timetabled for P.E. and also on days when they are on trips away from the school. We always encourage families to pass on uniforms/tracksuits to younger  siblings. Therefore, any of our older crested tracksuits can still be worn for as long as possible.
