Congratulations to all of the athletes who competed in a Cross Country event in Fairyhouse in November. We had some wonderful individual and team performances on the day. Well done to all involved. 

The residents of Ratoath Manor were treated to a wonderful performance from the school choir this week. The choir performed a selection of classic tunes and a few Christmas favourites too. There was a lovely atmosphere in the room full of smiles and good cheer. 
Huge thanks to Ms. Gogan, Ms. Nangle, Ms. Kieran and all of the students in the choir. It was a memorable day for all. 

The Student Council are absolutely delighted to say that our LEGO Drive was a massive success thanks to you all. It’s so nice to see a new generation of children playing with old LEGO that was once loved by someone else.

We raised awareness by putting up posters around the school and going around the classes asking for any old LEGO. We also mentioned the LEGO drive at Assembly. Once we got all the LEGO we were amazed by how much we received. We sorted all the LEGO into many boxes and that almost took 2 days! We divided all the LEGO between all the classes and started to hand them out. When we brought the new LEGO to the classes the children looked like they were opening their presents on Christmas morning! They were so happy .

Now on rainy days when we can’t go out on the yard the children will have lots of LEGO to keep them busy. So we just wanted to say thank you all so much. This wouldn’t have been accomplished without all your support.

Kind Regards,
Student Council. 

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!
