St. Patrick's GNS News

Welcome back to you all after the winter break. We hit the ground sliding rather than running, but we are hopefully back on track now. Sincere thank you to all of you for your understanding this week. I want you to know that these decisions are never taken lightly and we are trying to balance so many factors when making them.

A special word of thanks to our caretaker Pat, who made sure of our safety around the school. The things that happen when nobody is watching...!

The phone lines will remain down for the time being. If you need to contact the teacher or pass on a message, please write a note in your child’s journal or use Aladdin to notify us of early departures, late arrivals, etc.

This issue affects the entire school. If you come to the door to collect your child, please be aware that there may be a wait, as we need to collect children from their individual classrooms. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
