Students of the Week Friday December 13th

Creating a positive atmosphere in St.Attracta’s is central to what we do. We believe that children learn best in an atmosphere of respect and positive reinforcement. As a result we celebrate the achievements of the children each week at assembly. Our students strive hard for the accolade of ‘Student of the Week’ and in turn work hard to achieve it!

In the coming week we will have a group photo of all our students who have been fortunate to chosen so far this year, however we will start this week with our Students of the Week for this week ending December 13th.

A final word to those who have yet to get there ‘There is always next week’!

Parish Carol Service

The annual Parish Christmas Carol Service will take place in St. James’ Church this Wednesday evening at 7.00 p.m.

The children have been asked to be present for 6.40 p.m. at the latest.

Junior and Senior Infants who will be angels on the night have been asked to dress in a white t-shirt/shirt with some tinsel as headwear. There is no need to go any expense, something very simple will suffice.

1st to 6th are asked to wear their full school uniform and bring a Santa Hat along if they have one. Again if not, that’s fine also.

We look forward to what is always a special evening in the Parish!
