On Friday last we remembered our first assembly in September and we’re reminded of the progress that has been made by each child. As always, we learned of students who consistently put themselves forward week after week. We appreciate this effort and acknowledge this hard work. We heard of pupils who have made a huge effort to help others who they see having difficulty with a task. We listened to descriptions of both the collective and individual effort that is put into making days more enjoyable for others. We impact each other’s lives as a community here in St. Attracta’ and it is important to make that impact positive.

Our teachers spoke of children who did not always find things easy but who are now able to do the task that was so hard at the beginning. At this time of the year, we see how our children are becoming more independent and that is our aim. We help, we motivate and we nurture this independence, and we are thrilled when we can see it. We were reminded by our teachers that small differences made over a period of time make a big change. We know from our discussions in parent-teacher meetings in recent weeks, that you are also seeing these subtle changes at home. Maith sibh go léir!!
