A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Witch Walk. Well done to all our scary witches, ghosts and monsters.
Cash for Clobber.
Cash for Clobber will be collected from the school on Tuesday next, October 10th. Bags of clothes may be left in to the school on Thursday and Friday mornings, (ordinary black plastic sacks will do for clothes). Thanks you for your continued support of this valuable fundraising initiative.
School Mass and Prayer Service
There will be a prayer service for the children from Junior Infants to 2nd Class and Mass for the children from 3rd to 6th on Thursday October 12th next. Due to the unavailability of the church, these events will have to be held in the halla. While we would love parents to come along to these events, space in our halla is unfortunately at a premium particularly when all the children are there. However if you would like to come along and “squeeze” in, you are more than welcome.
School Closure on Tuesday October 24th.
St. Mochulla’s NS will be closed on Tuesday October 24th to facilitate staff training in The New Primary Language Curriculum.

The internet and the virtual world can greatly benefit our children’s education if used positively. However in this day and age we are all aware of the perils and pitfalls of the online environment. Please speak regularly to your child about the pros and cons of the internet and please continue to monitor their online activity.
St. Mochulla’s Parents Association Meet and Greet and AGM
