There was great ‘eggcitement’ in St. Paul’s last month following the arrival of our ‘Incubator Project’. We had to wait patiently for 3 weeks before we finally began to see some movement in the eggs. The first chick made a ‘cracking’ arrival on Wednesday the 13th of November (sharing a birthday with Ms. McGeough!) with the other 4 chicks arriving shortly after. We all got an opportunity to visit the chicks and say hello. Have a look at below at some of the photos. 

Our Parents’ Association are currently planning for our annual Christmas Fair on Sunday 1st December from 10.30am to 2.30pm. There will be lots of stalls including a cake sale and book stall. Santa himself will take time out from his hectic schedule to meet the children in our grotto.  We would be delighted to see you on the day. It will be a great family fun day! 

Well done to all the children who dressed up before the Halloween Break. We had a great selection of both spooky and fun costumes. Thank you all for your donations on the day for the “Trick or Treat for Temple Street” fundraiser. We are delighted to have raised €685.

Last Wednesday the boys and girls walked up to the Church for a beautiful Back to School Mass. It was our first Mass with the new priests Fr. Michael and Father Stephen. They were both incredibly complimentary to all of the children for their fantastic behaviour, participation and singing. Thank you to all of the children who did the readings and to the School Choir who provided beautiful music.

Every year, the children in St. Paul’s enter the Pentel International Children’s Art Competition. We submit the entries at the end of October and it takes almost a full year for entries to be judged and decided upon. A huge congratulations to last year’s winners who were only announced this month. Classes are currently busy completing this year’s entries to post off to Japan for judging. Best of luck everyone.

Thursday was a very special day in St. Paul’s as we celebrated SNA Appreciation Day. The SNAs in St. Paul’s are integral to our school. They support and guide our children and cater to all their needs, while all the time showing patience, love and dedication. Thank you to each and everyone of our SNAs. We value you all so much.
