SCHOOL NEWS in Brief…..
10th May 2018
From the Principal’s desk:
This week we received the wonderful news that RMDS has been awarded the Discover Primary Science and Maths Plaque of STEM Excellence for the 2017/18 academic year. All our hard work has paid off! A Plaque of STEM Excellence is one of the highest awards that a school can achieve in the area of STEM education and commends RMDS for deeper engagement, whole school involvement and external science engagement in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths programmes for this 2017/18 academic year.
A huge thank you to our co-ordinator Ms. Dillon and to all the teachers for gathering all the evidence of our hard work, to our pupils for participating and to our parents for getting involved in our STEM activities this year! It is fantastic to see all of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths work being carried out in RMDS with such enthusiasm and interest.
As you know, RTÉ’s children’s news programme, news2day will be in our school on Monday, 14th May to cover our Green School’s activities in RMDS, to mark National Walk to School Week and to celebrate us winning our 3rd Green Flag for Travel.
All children are asked to wear GREEN on Monday!
A reminder that the Junior Infant Reception Day for incoming Junior Infants is Thursday, 24th May. The present Junior Infants will have no school that day.
The school will be closed on Friday, 25th May as the school will be used as a polling station for the upcoming Referendum.
Please check for lost property at the gate. All items left at the weekend will be donated to charity.
