2/4/'21 Happy Easter to all the children, families and staff of Scoil Chaitríona. We hope you have a lovely, safe holiday. On the day day of the holidays we had a funfilled Easter Egg Hunt and every child went home with a delicious Easter Egg. Many thanks to our SNA Mary for arranging this.

Well done to all the children for raising an amazing €586 on Green Day for Cancer Research. This was an incredible amount for such a worthy cause. 

On the last day of term we said thank you to Mr Hanley for teaching the infants since September and for being such a wonderful asset to our school. We did not say goodbye as Mr Hanley will be joining us next term as our SET. We look forward to welcoming back Ms. Sheehy who is coming back after her maternity leave. 
Enjoy these photos of our last day of term

Happy Grandparents Day 2021

27/1/'21 Today we should have been celebrating Grandparents Day in Scoil Chaitríona, as part of Catholic School's Week. We have very fond memories of last years celebration with the school full to the brim with our wonderful grandparents. This year the Corona Virus has kept us all apart. We want all our grandparents to know that you are always in the hearts of the children of Scoil Chaitróna and they all look forward to  giving you a real hug instead of the virtual ones we have had to become used to. We look forward to that day. Here is a little prayer for all our grandparents.

Please let us know when you have completed your 5km, how many people in your family completed it  and send all pictures to cappamorejuniorsandseniors@gmail.com. We will add up the distances we travel every week and see where that distance would take you in Ireland and what places of interest you would pass travelling this distance. We will then post information about these sites around Ireland. See get your running, walking and cycling shoes on and let's get moving for Scoil Chaitríona.
