Christmas Flower arranging is a firm favourite on the HSCL calendar. With the help of Lisa some super work and super creations . An enjoyable night for all !! We were fortunate to be able to organise some cookery classes with June Roache LOETB. The venue was the Parents Room St Josephs and it was all hands on for these few weeks. Some great tips and some great cooking !! What a challenge !! We all tried really hard to attend school every day for the month of November and we did really well. Ms Marron's class managed to come out with the highest percentage of attendance for the month. We treated them to a festive trip to the Library and then for some yummy Hot Chocolate in the Square Cafe !! Well done to them !! Well done all !! HSCL Sept 2018Hi my name is Margaret Buckley and I am the Home School Community Liaison Coordinator here in St. Philomena's N.S. I work between St. Philomena's G.N.S. and Scoil Bhride B.N.S. As the HSCL coordinator, my role includes the following:
Attendance It is important that your child attends school everyday. However, we do realise that there are sometimes very valid reasons why your child misses school, such as illness or some other important reason. Please be aware that if your child misses over 20 days in school, the school is obliged to pass this information on toTusla (Child and Family Agency). AND...... If your child is absent for reasons other than illness and the school is concerned, an educational welfare officer may be in contact with you. We would also like you to be aware that when the girls are late in the mornings, they sign the ‘late book’ and the number of minutes for which they are late is uploaded to their profile on the office system. When they have to leave school early, this is also recorded on the system in school. The minutes are then calculated for each pupil at the end of each term. These minutes add up very quickly if they are late or leave early on a regular basis and this information is used for attendance purposes also. We are so grateful for your ongoing support in all we do in St. Philomena’s. My days here in St. Philomena’s are Monday 9.20 – 12.05, all day Tuesday and all day Thursday. Please keep an eye on notes going home in school bags with information of upcoming classes for parents and please feel free to call in and say HELLO ! Great carving going on in Ms McDonnell's and Ms Marron's class !! Dont you just love a really scary pumpkin !! Happy Halloween everybody !! Great to have Valerie back with us and Ms Gaffey's girls are really enjoying the knitting classes. They are flying it !! And a great chance to knit up some nice goodies for their Christmas Bazaar coming soon !! What a lovely way to end the school year for our parents. Bus trip to Glenbarrow and we even brought the picnic. Lovely day in the outdoors. Must do it again soon !! What a great way to spend a May morning. Everyone is up for the run, or jog or walk ... Some of our 4 legged friends came along too. Super morning !! Who wouldnt like to knit a Michael D. tea cosy .. In a few easy steps Valerie had us all on track. Very relaxing afternoons !! Thanks to all who joined us for our Literacy for Fun in the classroom. We looked forward to it every week !! |
