District notes: St. Oliver’s NS parents hold annual meeting
There were three very interesting guests speakers including Joan Young the deputy Principal of the school who outlined the role of the learning support team in the school.
She spoke about the Reading Recovery programme which has been in operation in the school for the last 6 years and is very successful.
Garda Pierce Doherty from the local station reiterated the need for parents to show consideration for all when parking in the morning and at pick up time and reminded us all about the importance of teaching our children road safety from an early age.
Karen Coan gave us a very interesting breakdown on the work involved in getting the playground planned for the area up and running. She thanked all who have contributed so generously so far to the fundraising effort.The local council have donated €100,000 and so far over €47,000 has been raised locally.
Principal Joe McKenna and PP Fr Oliver Brennan were also in attendance and both thanked and congratulated the committee, under the Chairpersonship of Catriona McCarthy.
