Thank you very much to everyone who supported our Winter Show. I really think it was an experience the boys and girls will never forget. Thanks to Victor and Luana from Magna Films for capturing the show on film. I am delighted to share them with you now. Enjoy the...Rang a 6- Newsfeed
May 2024 All the 6th Class children are looking forward to the school tour to Tayto Park tomorrow. Few final points to note: Full school rules apply to all children from Ard Rí CNS on tour. The tour is non-uniform, however children must wear their blue grad hoodie so we can recognise them easily in the park. Prepare for the weather- apply sunscreen or bring a coat as required. The bus will leave at 8.30am sharp. Teachers will establish a ‘base-camp’ at the park. Children will be allowed to explore the park independently. There will be a member of staff at base-camp at all times should the children need support. No mobile phones or technology allowed. If children need to contact you they should go straight to a member of school staff. The Lunch Bag provide a 5 piece snack lunch for all children on tour. You might like to provide an extra sandwich just in case. Children can bring €10 to buy some treats. Do not bring big money- all valuables carried at own risk. We will be back to school at approx. 4pm. We will text you updated ETA when we are leaving the park. Thank you and have a great day, Múinteoir Cailín January 2024 Dear parents and guardians of 6th Class pupils, Children starting Post Primary school in September will have their Assessment Tests on different Saturdays from the end of January through February. Your child’s school will contact you shortly with specific details. It is very important that the pupils understand that there is no work they need to do in preparation for this test. These...Peace and Love
Our Peace and Love project is underway. The dove carrying an olive branch has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years in many different cultures. Today, the pupils of Ard Rí Community NS posted over 300 envelopes with homemade cards sharing messages of Peace with family and loved ones all over the world. Our doves will be flying to every corner of Ireland and every continent on the planet. We must send extra best wishes to the very brave Sgt. Derek Landy and the 123 Infantry Battalion and all the Irish Defense Forces working hard to keep peace in the Middle East this...Attention, Parents of children in 2nd & 3rd Class
November ’24 Dear parents, I would like to update you on our progress, re-arranging the 2nd and 3rd Classes. A partition wall has been built and electrics are installed. We are waiting for final-fix carpentry and paint. Furniture is being delivered in the next few days. It will be a lovely room. Most importantly, we are delighted Múinteoir Ailis has been appointed to teach the class. Ailis has been working with the children in 2nd and 3rd Class for the last few weeks. The children will know her well. We will open the new learning space as soon as it is ready. We have reviewed your feedback, the feedback of class teachers and the special education team. We have come up with a plan to make minimum impact and have greatest benefit to the children. Here is an outline of the next steps: Maria and Edel’s 2nd & 3rd multi-grade class will be divided Maria and Edel will teach their current 3rd Class plus 8 children who will move from Jack’s class Ailis will teach in the new room. Ailis will teach the children currently in Maria and Edel’s 2nd Class plus 8 children who will move from Ruth’s 2nd class Tomorrow, I will call the parents of the 16 children who will be moving class. We will announce next steps to the children and bring them together in their new cohort. Some children will be happy and excited about the move and some children will be anxious and sad. These are all natural reactions to change. We know the change is for the greater good and we must...Smashing Pumpkins Festival 2023
