Dear parents,

Today, all our thoughts are with the Primary 7 pupils  who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this evening at 6.30 in Newry Cathedral.  

As a school community, please join us in praying for them and their families, that they will be open to The Holy Spirit enriching their lives. The children and their parents have shown great commitment in their preparation and I thank them sincerely for that. I have no doubt that it will be a very special experience for all involved.  

I wish to extend my thanks also to the pupils in our choir who are offering up their talents to ensure that we have a beautiful liturgy. Their parents’ willingness to have them available for us on Friday evening is greatly appreciated.  

Have a wonderful weekend,  

yours in partnership,

Mrs Monaghan

I really need your help parents and remind you:

That we operate a 'drop off zone' and a one way system. We have had a few 'near misses as parents have not followed the one way system and have 'cut off' across the flow of traffic, to park in the area beside the canteen. I am very fearful that we will have an accident.

1. That you need to be so careful when dropping off children. Pupils should disembark onto the pavement- not onto the road/ car park side, where cars are busily trying to depart.
2. When driving off from your'drop off position' that you need to be mindful of other cars coming up from behind. We have had a few 'near collisions' re this.
3. That buses are being held up when some of you stay too long in your 'drop off' position. I have frequently seen the bus unable to take the bend to get to its drop off position because some of you have left your car unattended or are delaying your departure to make phone calls etc, unaware that your vehicle is blocking the way.

I know that with your support we can make the process safer for our school community.
