Family Liaison Teacher - Lisa Sheehy

We are very fortunate to share a Family Liaison Teacher with the other four Primary schools. Lisa Sheehy spends every Tuesday in The Monastery and assists and supports children and their parents in successfully engaging with school . She liaises with external agencies and local support networks on behalf of the school.

If you require any assistance during the current school closure Lisa may be contacted via the school office 062-52656 .

School Attendance

Excellent attendance at school is important to allow children to be the best they can be and aim for a bright future.

Why it is so important to attend school:

Let’s make every school day count.

To learn.
To have fun.
To make new friends.
To experience new things in life.
To learn about differences, people and culture.
To be part of the community.
To spend time with friends.To be part of a team.
To develop new skills.To build conﬁdence and self-esteem.
To have the best possible start in life.

Key Point

Children who go to school regularly are more likely to make friends, to do well in school and be involved in their community.

Whilst not ideal getting your child into school late is ALWAYS better than not having them in at all.

**Please don’t send them to school if unwell especially in current circumstances.**

EAL (English as an Additional Language)

We are fortunate to have shared access to an EAL teacher in the school. Ms Jo Browne works with our pupils for whom English is an additional language to support them in their language development .
