One of our great traditions here at Scoil Nioclais is our annual Intercultural day where students can both learn and explain different aspects of other cultures.In the past we have had great support from parents on this day, whereby they came and brought a taste of their country to the students. Events included:
-Dance and Musical displays
-Cookery demonstrations and sharing of recipes
-Wearing and explanations of National Costumes
-A visit to your child's class to talk about your country
-Story telling, translations and much more.
We would be delighted to hear from parents who would like to bring a little of their native country to Scoil Nioclais and would welcome any ideas you have. Help us keep this wonderful tradition going by contacting Orla (SNPA), through the school office or Rosemary in Room 18.

SOCIAL NIGHT
The table quiz which took place on Friday, 23rd April in Frankfield House was a great success. There were some fantastic prizes on the night and a big thank you to all those that came along. We hope you all enjoyed the evening.
Congratulations to the winning team, Crystal Swing and to Sober Lane, who came in a close second.
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!
