We are very excited to announce our new initiative as an optional extra for parents.  Alongside our emotional intelligence, life skills and resilience training for our students, we will be providing training for parents including parent forums (with expert guest speakers), fortnightly detailed information on teaching resilience and life skills and lots of other background information to help and support parents navigate the early childhood years. More details to follow.

We are hoping to reopen on Monday 6th September, however this will depend on the restrictions in place at the time.  We are eagerly awaiting news from the government in their plan to be released on 31st August to give us more clarification.  We are ready to go and dying to get back to work and to see the children again, and we will do so as soon as we are allowed.  Please bear with us and do register for classes, because we are confident that it won’t be too long!

BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN FOR SEPTEMBER 2021!

New students are very welcome and places can be booked using our ‘REQUEST A BOOKING FORM’ on the website.  All our existing students will need to book into their chosen classes for September also. Once your booking has been processed, you will receive confirmation and details of how to access your parent portal on our school system.

AT LAST WE ARE REOPENING!!!

Hello everyone, I have great news at last.  From Mid July till the end of August every week, we will be running much needed Summer Camps in the Scout Hall in Mt. Merrion (in the grounds of Mt. Merrion Church) .  We are keeping abreast of all government guidelines and as we did last year, we will have strict ‘covid’ measures in place in accordance with government advice. If we have to run the camps outdoors, limiting the number to 15 with social distancing, well let’s do it!

We are also introducing our new “Wings Camp” for 6th class students, a fun and exciting camp with hip hop and focusing on resilience and helping them to prepare for transition to secondary school.

All camps run from Monday to Friday incl., for three hours each day, and cost €120 with a 10% discount for siblings.

These camps are open to everyone, so feel free to share with anyone you think might be interested.
