Due to the enormous success of Cork in hurling, camogie, and ladies football we have had a number of “Red Days” Thank you for your support in making these days a tremendous success.
We had a visit from members of the Cork Senior hurlers and Cork Senior Camogie panels, with their respective trophies. Hopefully we will have the Ladies Football Cup in the near future. Congratulations to all involved.

20. Headlice:

Head-lice causes problems in most primaryschool.
Regular checking and fine combing (treating where necessary) is the only way to beat the bug. Failure to do so by any one family will almost certainly result in an outbreak of head-lice infestation.
Any notes on this issue will require your signature .

21. Collecting /leaving off children: Church Yard:

The issue of safety and accessibility to the church yard is a very important issue for us all.. Read the attached letter, re. Car park carefully and please observe the few simple rules. Also talk to your children about safety in the car park and the need to be extra vigilant when entering and leaving the park.
I will also speak to the classes about safety “coming to” and “leaving school.”

As in other years these circulars and Departmental Guidelines are available to you in the Principal’s Office.
