Dear Parents/Guardians,
Launch of Bike Racks and Shelters We were delighted to have South Dublin County Council Mayor Cllr Emma Murphy officially mark the installation of our 30 space toast bike rack and shelter as part of the Safe routes to School programme. It's great to see so many pupils’ cycle or scoot to from school and even some our staff! As a school, we are proud to take a proactive approach to promoting active travel among our school community and look forward to more members of our school community cycling, scooting or walking to school.
Clothing Collection We are organising a clothes collection fundraiser over the next three weeks. We would welcome all kinds of unneeded clothes (clean and wearable), shoes (in pairs), hats, scarves, bags, belts, bed linen, towels and curtains. Please note that pillows and duvets cannot be re-used. You can drop bags of clothing at any time during school hours to reception. If you are doing a spring clean of your wardrobes, we would be delighted to take any unwanted clothing off your hands. Please place the clothes you are donating into plastic bags. All money raised will go towards buying resources for the pupils of St. Thomas’ JNS. Many thanks for your support.
Admissions 2023/2024 Junior Infant enrolment for 2023/2024 will open on Monday the 7th November 2022.
