Swimming

Re: Swimming Lessons 5^th/6^th Classes

Swimming Classes for 5^th & 6^th Classes commence on Friday next 28^th April in Cavan Swimming & Leisure Complex for a period of eight weeks.  Bus will cost €5.00 per child each week (can be paid weekly).  The Parent Association is paying for the swimming lessons.We have requested a changing room for the boys separate to men’s changing area and swimming pool staff are facilitating us.   However, as the room is quite a distance from the pool and involves walking a corridor, the Manager insists as part of Child Protection/Health & Safety issues that when the boys are  walking to the swimming area they must be fully covered by a towel and they must wear flip-flops or swimming socks.The bus is leaving the school at 9.20am sharp and children are asked to have their swimming costumes on to save time.  Please do not send money with your child as there will be no opportunity to spend any.

Walk to School

RE: Walk to School Initiative

As part of our initiative to promote exercise among our school children, we will walk from the playground to the school every Friday (mornings only), commencing on Friday 28th April until the end of term.

Children can be dropped at the Playground at 9.10am and teachers will accompany them to the school.

An Taisce National Spring Clean

3rd & 4th class together with Mrs Fay, Mrs McGovern and Siobhán, took part in An Taisce National Spring Clean Today. The children love taking part in this event. They walked through the village to The Town Lake and back to the Community Centre and Railway Road.

We did find some litter but we have a very active Tidy Towns Committee operating in Killeshandra and the town and surrounding area is generally litter free.

On our way back to school, we dropped into the Men's Shed in Killeshandra, to see some of their projects.

Thanks Mick for the tour.
