We are delighted to announce that our annual Scholastic Book Fair is back after a three-year hiatus! Our last Book Fair took place in March 2020 just before schools were closed in Ireland due to COVID 19. The Book Fair is moving to a new slot to allow for some literary Christmas purchases for family and friends. The Book Fair will be open from: 
Monday November 28th-Friday December 2nd
Times:  Open daily from 8:30-9:15a.m. and 1:30 p.m.-3:00p.m.  
Thursday Eve from 6:30 -8:00 pm.  


The commission received from the fair will go back into books for your son’s class library and our school library. For every euro spent we will receive 60c back in books for our school. We will also purchase new sets of class novels. 

This event is always really popular with pupils and families. Our 5th & 6th class buddies will enjoy sharing a reading session with their Junior and Senior Infant buddies in the hall. All classes will have an opportunity to visit the fair during the week. It is another opportunity to welcome families back into our school hall once more. 

A huge thank you to our Library Team of parents and our PA who will be working at the book fair all week. Payment may be made by cash or card. 
We look forward to seeing you there. 
Annette Lynch (Deputy Principal)

We are actively looking for children to join the existing group. It’s a great opportunity to gain confidence and even public speaking skills.
