Interfaith Calendar
Ard Rí Community NS is a Multi-Denominational School. We model respect, celebrate and recognise diversity in all areas of human life. We endeavour to encourage children to have pride in what makes them different and a belief that difference, when respected and valued, gives strength and vibrancy to the school community and the wider community in which we live. In order to ensure we value all the beliefs and values in our community the staff at Ard Rí Community NS plan based upon our Inter-Faith Calendar. This document is a live document, a work in progress, one which changes as we reflect upon our teaching, as we receive feedback and as our community evolves.

Dear parents, As we approach the end of term, we are aware it is a busy time for everyone. Therefore, for our last week in school there will be no written homework. Instead we would like each pupil to pick one activity from this list each day:- spend some time reading Help prepare some food Tidy a room at home Help tidy away laundry Load or unload the dishwasher Empty the bins Read to or play with younger siblings Phone an older relative Send a Christmas card …any other activity that helps out at home We have explained all of the above to our pupils and we have asked that they would record their reading and activity each day in their homework journal. Thank you for your support in this initiative. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone From all the team at Ard Rí Community...Winter Show; 18.12.2019- Ardboyne Hotel
Full Dress Rehearsal: There will be a full dress rehearsal on Friday 13.12.2019. Base costumes will go home on Thursday and children wear base costumes to school on Friday under their tracksuits and coats. We will not be sending home Santa Costumes, Sequined skirts etc. Parent Association Cake Sale: As per the timetable below there will be a Cake Sale in Navan Rugby Club on the day. Donate whatever you can afford. Contact a member of the Parent Association if you would like to donate some cakes, buns etc. Please pre slice your cakes for ease of serving. To abolish our reliance on single-use-plastic bring your own lunchbox/container to pack your buns and a keep-cup for tea/coffee on the day. I estimate this will easily save 200-300 pieces of single use plastic and polystyrene. If you get a take-away this weekend please wash the plastic containers and send them in to school. We will re-use these for serving also.Winter Show: All children come to school at the normal time on the day in full (or nearly full) costume. We will take the children to the Ardboyne for their performance. There will be plenty of space in the hall this year. Please do not start queueing too early. We do not have access to the room in advance of the show so it will be the children’s first time performing the show on the Ardboyne stage. Some patience may be required!! The Winter Show has a very special atmosphere. I encourage you to put your recording device down, to be present and to enjoy the live performance, to treasure the magic moments. If you do feel you need to...Tin Whistle (Key of D)
From January 2020 we will be teaching Tin Whistle to children from First to Sixth class during our curriculum Music lessons. Please buy a Tin Whistle in the Key of D and bring it to school in January. We will label each tin whistle and children will keep their whistle in school. Children can only use their own whistle etc. This could be a nice stocking filler idea for really good boys and girls…...Team Hope Shoebox Appeal- November 2019
Well done to the wonderful Ard Rí CNS Community who came together to support Team Hope in their Shoebox Appeal. The Parent Association counted 150 gift-filled shoe boxes which will be transported to needy children in Eastern Europe and Africa over the coming weeks. We packed the shoeboxes into two cars and they are on their way to the Kells depot where they will be checked and sorted and will go from there to Dublin Port and from there by ship to their destinations. Happy...Junior Infant Admissions September 2020
