Our 6th class ladies,

We have missed so much celebrating with you all as you get ready for the next chapter in your lives.  You are living in unprecedented times but your sacrifice is helping others in ways that you cannot imagine.

We have missed being able to sign your shirts, autograph books and take pictures at Graduation. We are so proud of all you have achieved in the years you have been with us, and know that you will continue to shine like the stars you are.⭐

To help you remember us all in Scoil Mhuire Lourdes we have one final gift to give you. On Friday 26th June from 11- 1pm Mr. O ‘ Flaherty and Ms. Coen will be at the school to give you an end of year momento from SML… You can come with an adult to collect your gift from the school but please remember to be responsible in the way in which we continue to stay our distance from each other.

We would love to see you and wish you every success as you take the next step on the journey of your education.

Here is a short video message from Mr. O’Flaherty, Ms.Coen and Bishop Denis to ask God to protect mind and keep you safe now and always.

Your hero could be a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, ambulance service, gardai, fire service, army, an post, shop assistant, van driver, Leo Varadkar, Simon Harris, Dr. Tony Holohan, your granny cocooning – in fact anyone who is playing their part to keep us all safe.

You can use paints or draw with pencils or use anything you like once it’s on an A4 page. Feel free to give your own unique ‘Title’ to your entry.

There are 4 age categories and prizes range from €50 to €500. The artists and their heroes in the winning portraits will also be honoured at a special presentation in August 2020 (which will be confirmed at a later date)

The Glucksman are providing video tutorials and live online art sessions to help you with creations as well as tips and ideas on our social media channels.

Entries can be submitted as images by email along with a completed application form.

The Glucksman will share everyone’s creations in a dedicated online gallery, as well as awarding prizes for individuals and schools in different age categories.

End of year message from Scoil Mhuire Lourdes

To all the families and children in Scoil Mhuire Lourdes,

It has been such a challenging and strange time for us all and we have missed you so much. From your smiles on the corridor to the sounds of song singing coming from the hall. We have enjoyed every second of engaging with you and seeing the amazing work that you have been doing at home with your families. You have shone brighter than we could ever have anticipated and we are so proud of the sacrifices you have made to help others.

We are not sure what September will look like just yet, but what we do know is that we cannot wait to see you all, hear about your Summer and get you all back on track with your learning. As soon as more information comes we will update all of our families.

Next week Ms.Coen will post an activity each day for ‘Arts Appreciation’ week. Seeing as it is the last week of school there will be no formal learning packs.😊

Please contact tullowgns.ias@eircom.net if you have any queries- the teachers will also be taking a well deserved break so will be unavailable for emails after Friday 26th June. We will be in contact with 6th class regarding a little gift from our school in the coming days….keep an eye on your texts for updates!

We wish you a wonderful Summer break full of health and happiness.🌞

Take care, God bless and safe safe,

Ms. Coen

As you may be aware Schools Completion normally visit our 6th class group around this time every year. Unfortunately, as we all know, that’s not possible this year.
Instead they have split the workshop into 4 short videos (see link below)
They hope (if there’s time) to follow this with a questions and answers session
They have provided an email address where parents can email questions and they will try and host a session for them in July.

Booklists for 2023-2024

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In recognition of the cost of preparing children and young people for the return to primary school each September Minister for Education Norma Foley T.D. has announced funding to provide free school materials from September 2023.

This scheme will eliminate some of the cost to parents of providing these resources.

Funding is being provided directly to primary schools and special schools by the Department to implement the scheme and schools will now have responsibility for providing school resources to all children at the start of the school year.

All school books will remain the property of the school so that books can be reused in future years. School books will be provided on loan to children for the duration of the 2023/24 school year and must be returned to school at the end of the school year.

Parents are requested to remind their children to take care of their books and keep them in good condition during the year. It is not permitted to write on textbooks.

Whilst our school is delighted to receive additional funding, we are cognisant that it will not be sufficient to cover all the costs associated with school life. There are some related classroom resources that are not covered by the scheme. We have made a significant effort to keep pupils costs to a minimum year after year, and thus are asking each parent for €50 per child. Additional details on what items parents will need to supply for the return to school in September 2023 are described overleaf.

 

Yours sincerely,

Ms. Coen

Book Collection Reminder

If there is anyone who has not collected books from the school please make contact before Friday 12th June to arrange for collection on tullowgns.ias@eircom.net.

A date and time can be arranged but notice must be given to facilitate the school being opened safety for late collections.

Otherwise, packs that are not collected will be recycled over the Summer.

Kind regards,

Ms. Coen
