WHAT A MORNING!!

SCHOOL CLOSURES

January 25th and 26th, school will close @ 2.15pm to facilitate parent teacher meetings.
 

March 16th, school will be closed to facilitate staff in-service training on the new Primary Language Curriculum. 

SENSORY ROOM

Our new sensory room has been a great addition to our ever improving school. Boys from all classes are benefitting from the calm space. Thank you to Mrs. Webbley for leading the development of our sensory room. A sensory room is a space which aims to provide students with the individualised sensory input they need to self-regulate, so they can be better prepared for learning and interacting with others. A sensory space addresses the primary senses; sight, hearing, smell, touch and the vestibular and proprioceptive senses. We look forward to our neurodivergent learners enjoying this space for years to come. 

SCHOOLS TENNIS

The Leinster Tennis Primary Schools League will run from March 6th until May 26th this year. We are hoping to enter two teams of 5th and 6th class boys (born in 2012 or earlier) to represent Hollypark. There will be six boys on each team.

If your son is interested in being considered for a place on the team, please email your interest to hollyparktennis2023@gmail.com before January 27th.

Please include details of tournament experience and Tennis Ireland ranking (if applicable), as this will help with team selection. Leinster Tennis also uses this information to determine which division our teams will play in.

Many thanks,
Judith Sheridan
Tennis coordinator 2023
