Registration Deadline

Reminder that the registration for the new Junior Infants starting in September 2019 will end on Friday the 18th January. 

Christmas Holidays

Don't forget school finishes at 12.00pm today.

All the staff here at SS Peter and Paul JNS would like to wish all our families a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year. We hope all the boys and girls get all they wish for this Christmas and we look forward to welcoming them all back in 2019. 

Santa and the Garda Band

We could not believe our eyes or ears when we heard the sound of sirens coming into the school yard today, who was it only the Gardaí. Thankfully they weren't here to talk to any naughty boys or girls (as obviously we don't have any), but instead they brought a VERY special visitor.....SANTA!!!!

Santa Claus was here to check on all the children and to make sure they are all on his nice list, which I can confirm they most definitely are! Whilst he was here, we all had a lovely Christmas carol sessions and sang some of our favourite songs with the Garda Band. The teachers did a great job singing along and we think they might all be on Santa's nice list too. 

Happy Christmas everyone. 

Tesco Community Fund

One of Santa's elves from Tesco gave us a marvellous surprise today when she arrived with a HUGE cheque for €215.31 that will go towards school equipment. Thank you so much Tesco. 

Christmas Jumper Fundraising Day

We're feeling very festive here today in SS Peter and Paul as all the teachers, staff and students donned their best Christmas jumper (and onesies) to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. 

We as a staff felt that Cystic Fibrosis Ireland was a very worthy cause for our annual Christmas Jumper fundraiser day as it is a voluntary organisation set up by parents to improve the treatment and facilities for people with Cystic Fibrosis. 

To find out more about the fantastic work they do visit www.cfireland.ie

A big thank you to all the families that donated to our fundraiser day. 

Christmas Plays

What a wonderful week its been with all the Christmas plays in full swing. The boys and girls all did an AMAZING job remembering all their lines and singing so beautifully for all the families. A big thank you to all the class teachers for all their superb work, its not easy but they made it look so.
We hope all who came to see the plays over the past week thoroughly enjoyed them. It definitely put the whole school in the festive mood. Here's a few pictures from the various plays that took place.

Dublin City Fire Safety Calendar Competition

We were just delighted to hear the news that Sean from 2nd class won a category in the Dublin City Fire Safety Calendar Competition. Sean was runner up in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd class category. His picture will be printed in the 2019 Dublin City Fire Safety Calendar for the month of June. Sean, his family and Mrs Heffernan, our school Fire Safety Coordinator, were invited to a presentation in The Mansion House in Dublin where The Lord Mayor Nial Ring was there to congratulate all the winners. The morning was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended. Sean was interviewed by RTE and given lots of fantastic prizes. A big thank you must go to Dublin City Fire Brigade for the lovely prizes and for all the hard work they do throughout the year.
