We had a busy science week. Lots of experiments and activities.

Please check here for our weekly school newsletters.

At the beginning of every school year, the class teachers will guide the children through the formation of Class Charters. This process will enable the children to learn that they — and the children and adults around them — have rights and responsibilities. The teachers will actively encourage each child in the class to contribute to their Class Charter. The language used in class charters will be age appropriate. Each charter will state in positive terms the behaviour that is expected in the classrooms, the playground and the school environment.

New Junior Infants & their parents are invited to visit the classrooms and meet the teachers & SNAs on Monday 6th July. 9.30am-10.15am for children whose first names begin with the letters A – J and 10.15am-11.00am for first names beginning with letters K – Z. (To comply with current Health Regulations, families will enter the school building for a short visit only, and in small groups. Families can also visit our playgrounds. Please use the hand sanitiser provided. No one should visit the school if they are feeling unwell.) Older new pupils are invited to visit the school during the above times too – they will get to visit their new classrooms, as well as meet the Principal/Deputy Principal/Assistant Principal, (but not their new teacher.)

In the meantime, here are some photos of our Junior Infant classrooms, the infant playground, our library and school building. Take a look….

All schools closed Friday 13th March until further notice. All after-school activities & meetings are cancelled.  To contact the school during this closure period please email info@goreyeducatetogether.ie  A deep-clean of the school building will be completed during the closure period.

Hurling coaching has started again for our 1st and 3rd classes. Many thanks to our parent volunteer! (And to our PTA Committee for the hurls and helmets!)

Our fifth and sixth classes held a huge Science Fair. One team qualified for the Regional Final of the ‘Intel Mini-Scientist’ event.
