SENIOR INFANTS READING BOOK SCHEME

Each year parents of senior infants purchase 4 general readers i.e. Little Hippo Gets Lost, Animals in the Trolley, Honey Bears Party and Lion in the Mud.

In an attempt to help future pupils and to reduce the overall cost of school books, we are asking parents to donate these readers to the school when finished with them. These books will be held in the classrooms and lent to future pupils, thereby saving parents having to purchase these books in the future.

If you are interested in partaking in this scheme, please contact your class teacher. Thank you for your support with this initiative.

The Pitch in Ardfield

Several parents have approached us at the SNPA regarding the school using the pitch in Ardfield. Having such a resource unused and so close to the school is unfortunate, therefore we did some research into the situation.
We understand from the Council the school is not eligible to take over the pitch, however if a club were in situ then Scoil Nioclais could hire the pitch for the use of the school.There is an application process in the Council where interested clubs can apply and obtain the use of the pitch if they satisfy certain criteria.
However in order to do this, the pitch would have to be handed over to the council by Westbrook Housing and they are very keen to do this as soon as possible.
We hope that this process will proceed and in the near future Scoil Nioclais will have the option of using this great facility. As soon as we know more, we will update this blog!

SOCIAL NIGHT

A table quiz will take place on Friday 23rd April at 8.30 p.m. in Frankfield House. A great night is guaranteed and there will be some super prizes on the night. We look forward to seeing you all there!!

SCHOOL CALENDER

Just in time for Christmas, a super calender for 2010 was produced and available for parents to purchase. This involved a group photo of each class printed in a calender format This is a unique souvenir and a great gift for grandparents.

COMMUNION BLAZERS

For the first time this year, we are delighted to advise that we have school communion blazers available for hire. There has been a fantastic response to this new scheme and we look forward to continuing it for many years to come.

SOCIAL NIGHT

For our 2010 social night, we are holding a table quiz on Friday 23rd April at 8.30pm in Frankfield House. Tables consist of teams of 4 and there will be some fantastic prizes on the night. This event also provides a great opportunity to meet with other parents from Scoil Nioclais. We look forward to seeing you all there for what promises to be a super night!!!!

CAKE SALE

A cake sale was held in Frankfield Church in October last year. A big thank you to all those who baked for the sale and, of course to those who purchased. For the first time this year, we had cakes on sale after 7pm mass on Saturday and we were pleased with the overall response.

BOOK FAIR

The annual Scoil Nioclais Book Fair took place during one week in November. This was a wonderful opportunity for parents and pupils to purchase a wide range of high quality interesting books. We are very pleased to report that arising from this scheme, the school is in a position to purchase school novels for 5th and 6th classes, which form part of their school curriculum. Also a large volume of books have now arrived in for the school library.
