1. There will be a change in the morning procedure from August 31st. School starts at 9.20 am. The school yard door will open at 9.10 am. All children enter the yard through the side timber door. Parents/Guardians may leave their child at the school gate. There will be a teacher in the yard to supervise.
IT MUST BE NOTED BY PARENTS/GUARDIANS THAT THE TEACHERS AND THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PUPILS BEFORE 9.10 AM OR AFTER 3.00 PM. 2. The Ploughing Championships will take place from the 19th-21st of September. School will open at 11.00 am and close at 2.00 pm for the three days. We have been advised by the gardaí to stagger opening and closing times as there will be a significant increase in traffic in the area during normal school opening and closing times, which could impact on the safety of children, parents and staff. Comments are closed.

St. Philomena's G.N.S.Welcome to our website. Message from the Principal
I feel humbled and honoured to write this message as the newly appointed principal of St. Philomena’s N.S. I have been a member of the St. Phil’s staff for the past 14 years and I can honestly say that I have loved every day working in the school. As a Clara woman starting out in a Tullamore school in September 2008, I didn’t quite know how I would be received but I knew instantly that I had landed somewhere very special. The ethos of St. Philomena’s is grounded in respect, tolerance, openness and honesty and as a staff, we work hard at building relationships with each other, with the pupils and their families. My aim as principal is to ensure that every child feels valued coming in the school gates in the morning and that more than anything else, every child wants to come to school with us. In our school, Every Child Counts or No Child Counts and I will make it my main aim to foster a commitment to equality of opportunity for every pupil, every day. I will strive for a healthy, positive learning and working environment for the staff and our pupils and to provide a space where well-being will blossom naturally. As parent(s)/ guardian(s), you are the primary educators of your child/ren, so please don’t be afraid to come in and talk to us if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child/ren. Together, we can do so much more! With Love, Geraldine Gaffey Archives
