Sports Day
Our annual Sports Day will take place on this Friday, 15th of June. Events will commence at 10am. As it is a normal school day, children should come to school at the usual times. They will be brought to and from the events by their teachers. We are very grateful to the PTA for their help, and to Tyrrelstown GAA for use of their pitch on the day.
The children should not bring money to Sports Day.
Children should be collected from the school.
As the events will take place outdoors, please ensure that your child has sunscreen and a bottle of water.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1475780129264{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
Beach Day
Beach Day was a great success last Friday. It was obvious to all that the children enjoyed themselves immensely. We are very proud of them for the care they took to leave the beach in very good order before we left.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Contact Details
If any of your contact details have changed, particularly phone numbers, please notify the office as soon as possible. This is particularly important as we regularly have to contact parents at very short notice. We also need the names of people to contact in the case of emergency.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1475781794776{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Rainbows
We will be starting a new Rainbows programme for children in Tyrrelstown ETNS this coming September.
Just to remind you, Rainbows is a peer-support programme to assist children who are grieving a death or separation in their family. It provides a safe setting in which children can share their feelings, emotions and struggles with others who have similar experiences. They are supported in this process by a trained facilitator.
For your child to attend rainbows one parent will need to meet the Rainbows Coodinator and fill in an application form. This is a FREE service. Please contact Niamh Duffy or Marian Reilly for more information.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1475781794776{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
