Swimming
This year, Claremorris Swimming Pool
are just able to accommodate the number
of pupils from Second to Sixth class. We
have joined the South Mayo GAA school
coaching programme and are delighted
that Brendan Murphy visits the school
each Friday during PE time for the
development of ball skills. Pupils in
First class will receive football
coaching from Halloween to Christmas.
Book Rental and Insurance
The Book Rental and Insurance for
2016/17 is now due. The fee is €17 for
infants, €27 for 1st/2nd class, €37 for
3rd/4th class and €47 for 5th/6th class.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Learning Support
We are delighted to welcome Ms.
Dooley as our Learning Support teacher.
The role of the learning support teacher
is to provide supplementary teaching to
pupils of all abilities as the school
sees fit. This can also involve team
teaching which occurs when both the
learning support and classroom teacher
jointly deliver instruction to pupils in
the same class. We are now a base school
for Learning Support and Ms. Dooley will
take two classes for English and/or Maths from
Halloween onwards.
