Summer Update
Hope you are all enjoying the holidays. At last an update as promised. We finally have our new teacher and are delighted to welcome Genevieve McGing to the team. Genevieve has previously been working in Galway Educate Together. She will be taking 2nd and 3rd class. We are still waiting on the Department of Education to approve our second Learning Support Resource teacher.
Work has begun on the new classroom. Again the delay is due to the Department of Education and much thanks is due to Melinda for her tireless contact with them.
A decision on the planning permission for the new school is due to be made on the 22nd of August. Files can be viewed on the Galway County Council website.
