INTO Budget Campaign |

Dear School Community,
Every year the INTO launch a campaign before the budget. This year’s campaign has three points:
Thank you for your continued help and support.
Yours sincerely,
Siobhán Henry.
Every year the INTO launch a campaign before the budget. This year’s campaign has three points:
- Reduce class sizes by 2: this would reduce the staffing schedule to one mainstream class teacher for every 21 pupils (from the current 23).
- Restore Posts of Responsibilities: I would like to take this opportunity to commend our current In-School Leadership and Management Team which consists of Ms. Coburn, Ms. Moynihan, Ms. King, Ms. Gavin, Mr. Regan and Ms. Casserly for their assistance in running our school. Our current level of posts of responsibilities is still below pre-austerity (2011) rate despite a larger school community.
- 20% increase in funding: Additional capitation would facilitate a more effective running of the school. This extra funding would allow us to allocate funds towards educational resources rather than towards lighting and heating.
Thank you for your continued help and support.
Yours sincerely,
Siobhán Henry.

June Assembly
Our final assembly of the year was jam packed with entertainment and awards. A very enjoyable morning on our final day of the 2023/2024 school year.
The last of this year's core values and AR superstar certificates were handed out, as well as some new word millionaires and the 6th class getting the trophy for most average time spent reading.
We had some fantastic performances from Mr. Regan's, Ms. Dolans, the Junior Infants and Ms. Moynihan's class. The talent in our school is on another level.
The student council were thanked for all their hard work and we got to watch a video made by them of each class sharing their favourite memories this year.
Ms. Henry thanked numerous people for all their hard work and wished us all a very happy and safe summer.
Over and out for 23/24!

It was an emotional final day last week as the 6th class students bid farewell to their primary education in St. Nicholas'. It had been a fun week, full of water fights, shirt signings and a very successful graduation night for all the families.
Wishing each and every one of the children the very best on the next step in their journey!
Here is a video the students and their teachers put together in the final days. Enjoy!
