Sport in SETNS
Commiserations to our Senior Boys GAA team who were narrowly defeated in the Fingal League final played in Parnell Park this week. We are extremely proud of the boys and the way in which they displayed true sportsmanship throughout the game and especially in the way they supported each other after the match.
The team and supporters were fantastic.
Thank you to the staff involved in preparing all the GAA teams this year. The commitment displayed in training the boys and girls is much appreciated.

Access to School Toilets
In the interest of safety for all our school children,adults/toddlers are discouraged from using the toilets during school hours. If however an adult/toddler URGENTLY NEEDS THE FACILITIES they must report to the school office in order to ensure that:
*the toilets are clear of all school children
*no school child enters the toilets while the adult/toddler is present
Please observe this procedure at all times. Your co-operation is very much appreciated.

I would like to thank you for returning your contact details and information to assist us in setting up the Aladdin Data Management system. It is a lengthy process but will be worth it in the end. Warmest thanks to all staff involved in the inputting process and we look forward to its’ use in the near future.
Please send in any outstanding Aladdin forms as soon as possible!
Finally…we have a very exciting and busy few weeks ahead of us this term. We look forward to working very closely with the PTA to get all in order for the Official Opening and to celebrate all our school events as well. Sincere thanks to the PTA for their support!
Le gach dea ghuí,Fiona
