From the Principal’s desk:
Well done to the Dublin Ladies Senior Football Team who won the Ladies All Ireland Football Final last weekend. Many of our children were in attendance at Croke Park reveling in the excitement and atmosphere and adding to the record breaking figure for attendance!
Class meetings have now concluded. Thank you all for your attendance over the last few weeks.
Please check for lost property at the gate in the morning. All items left at the weekend will be donated to charity.

What about jerseys?

For children needing a replacement jersey, it will cost €30.
How can I get involved or provide support?
If you have children in the Academy or in an underage team, please consider volunteering to help out as a coach so we can continue to take new children and maintain appropriate coach / child ratios for Health & Safety purposes or to help with Committee work.
