Guest Speaker - Mary Hickey's visit to Scoil San Eoin

RNLI.jpg

We had the honour of having a visit from the local legend Mary Hickey from Arklow on Friday 11th May. Mary has just completed a lap of Ireland running in aid of the RNLI and has raised well over €50,000 for the cause.

Age 65, she has been running for 50 years and has completed all 38 marathons.

The children got to speak to Mary and ask her questions all about her experience and travels as she ran around Ireland.

It was a great morning and a huge thanks to Mary for visiting Scoil San Eoin!

Scoil San Eoin Open Day - Sat 14th April

We had our annual open day on Sat 14th April for all new pupils. This was combined with the Scholistic Book Fair. Our new pupils were able to view the school and classrooms and meet the teachers and pupils. They also got to meet 'Clifford the dog' on arrival. The children and parents were able to enjoy all the lovely treats and refreshments and choose a book if they wanted to.

Overall the day was a great success and was enjoyed by all.

Thank you to all the parents involved for providing refreshments, teas/coffees and being involved in the day.

Thank you to all the pupils who attended and helped out by giving tours and welcoming new students and parents.

We look forward to welcoming all the new pupils in Sept!

Storm Emma - School Closure

Due to Storm Emma we recently had to close the school. The school and surrounding grounds were covered in a blanket of snow.

Thank you to everyone who helped over the weekend to get the school ready for Monday - There are too many to mention but a special thanks as without your help the school would of remained closed and another valuable day wasted.

Here are some photos sent in by Mandie Kinsella which capture the snow covered school nicely!
