Happy Holidays!


Thank you to every pupil and family in our school for the amazing work completed by each and every one of you both in and out of Google Classroom throughout school closures. 

Thank you to our teachers and staff for their stellar efforts in keeping learning and motivation going for everyone. It was so nice to feel a closing to the school year for many reasons. The digital classroom was not without its technical hitches and steep learning curves for all parties but we all got on with things as best as we could and came out better for it in the end! Children, parents and teachers did this without any formal training or advance planning. 
This was a wonderful achievement for everyone involved, perhaps one we will only fully understand in the coming months. Comhghairdeas!

We would like to wish our 6th class pupils the very best in their move to secondary school in the autumn. We would in particular like to thank Master Gerard Reilly for sending a special message to you all shared last week. We also thank our Parents’ Association for all their efforts in giving the children the send off they deserved with goodie bags, vouchers and souvenir t-shirts. 

And now for the practical:

Any important updates will be sent by text message over the summer. These may direct you to view more detailed updates on website or Google Classroom. 

Wishing you all a lovely summer, be kind, keep washing those hands and above all else stay safe. 

Le dea ghuí,
Mrs. Gilmartin and all staff at Leckaun N.S.
