We had a special assembly this week to say a huge thank you to a very important person in the school – our amazing school secretary, Yvonne.

Whether it’s a photocopying request, a letter to be sent out, a reassuring phone call to a parent, or simply a friendly greeting in the morning, no job is ever too big or too small for Yvonne — and every task is carried out with a smile on her face.

Her warmth, patience, and dedication make a difference in countless ways, and this assembly was our way of saying a huge thank you. Second Class composed a wonderful song “Count on Yvonne” which everyone proudly sang, including the “staff choir”!  Thank you Yvonne for everything you do. We’re so lucky to have you!

A huge congratulations to all of our Pentel Art Competition Winners. 

We are thrilled to announce that our Re-turn scheme has been a resounding success, raising an incredible €291.50 for St. Paul’s National School!
Since April 7th, families have been enthusiastically contributing recyclable bottles to our orange Re-turn bins, and the results have truly paid off—both for our planet and our pupils. A huge thank you goes out to all the parents and children who took the time to participate. Your efforts have not only supported our Green Schools initiative but have also contributed directly to enhancing our students’ experience at school.
This money will be invested in new sports and P.E. equipment for the benefit of all our pupils. Our dedicated Sports Co-ordinator, Mr. Mulvaney, will ensure that the funds are used to bring exciting and engaging new resources to our PE programme.
This initiative is a wonderful example of what we can achieve together—doing good for the environment while making a real impact in our school community. With heartfelt thanks from all the staff of St. Paul’s, as well as the Green School Committee and Student Council—let’s keep up the momentum and continue working together for a greener, healthier future!
