We will be back in school in time for the hot lunches.

- Swimming begins on Friday 17th April in Monaghan Leisure Centre. We will leave school at 11.30 for our lesson at 12.00. We should be out of the pool just before 1.00pm. Junior and Senior Infant children need a parent or older sibling to help dry/dress them after the lesson. They may be taken home after the lesson. All lessons must be paid for in advance.
