Hollypark PA
Our girls cannot wait for the PA Midsummer Cake Sale & Raffle: Friday 21st June!
Sunflowers!
A welcome burst of sunshine!! Huge thanks to Pat Perera and her team of volunteers (parents/grandparents and friends) who came into our school this week to plant sunflowers with our girls.
Parents are kindly asked to return pots to the school once the sunflowers have been planted outdoors.
Health & Safety
A gentle reminder that for health and safety reasons all children (including pre-schoolers and other siblings) and adults must dismount bikes and scooters upon entry to the school. This applies at drop off and collection times and throughout the school day.
We also remind parents/guardians that for health and safety reasons, no dogs (with the exception of guide and assistance dogs) are allowed on the school premises.
Respect for Our Neighbours
Parents are reminded that for the health and safety of our girls, there is no vehicular access to the school for drop-off in the mornings.
As a Green School, with a very active Coiste Glas, we actively encourage our girls to walk, cycle and scoot to school. As 80% of our pupils live within 2km of the school, this is very doable for many.
Unfortunately, but quite justifiably, our neighbours frequently complain of inconsiderate parking on the roads close to our school.
Please use the Church car park if it’s on your route to school: parking at the Church is free to all families at drop off and collection times.
Birthdays this Week in Hollypark!
