Student Council

We would like you to meet our new Student Council.

Cyberbullying talk

On Wednesday the 8th November Garda Edel Gilliland 

came to Scoil Bhríde to talk to 3rd - 6th class about cyber bullying.

Edel spoke about bullying and safe use of internet. 

They watched some slides  

and then talked about them.

She talked about various types of cyber bullying through Internet, texts, Instagram, Facebook, snap chat and twitter.

A rule to remember is - Think 3 times before you post anything!

• Is it appropriate?
• Is it hurtful?
• Is it embarrassing?

You are responsible for anything you post or comment on. You are NOT responsible for what someone else posts.

Annual Parent Teacher Meeting 2017

Re: Annual Parent Teacher Meeting 2017

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s)

Following the success of our parent teacher meetings in 2016, I wish to advise you that we have decided to continue the format for this school year.  I believe that this will help to alleviate the problem of parents queueing for a considerable length of time and often not getting the opportunity to speak with the class teacher.

 The meetings will take place on Tuesday 21^st and Wednesday 22^nd November from 3.15pm to 5.15pm. You will be allocated a specific time.  I ask you to be punctual as each meeting is scheduled for ten minutes. 

Your time will be forwarded to you next week.

Looking forward to your cooperation in this matter.

Children's Reading Festival!

On Friday the 6th October 5th & 6th class went on a visit to Cavan County Library to listen to a Storyteller called Pat Ryan.

Pat Ryan has worked as a storyteller, writer and teacher for over three decades now. His practice has developed through the influences of family and friends in America, Ireland and Britain where he collected stories and studied storytelling all that time.  He draws on traditional stories and storytelling content, and the nature of his storytelling is conversational, informal, thoughtful, educational and great fun.
