Darlene - P4
Darlene has made a fantastic start to Primary 4. Mr Doyle has been delighted with her work ethic and appetite for learning. She shows a real dedication towards her reading, Literacy, Numeracy and overall presentation.
Darlene displays great enthusiasm during all lessons and her continuous positivity is something to be admired.
I am impressed at the level of confidence, maturity, responsibility and independence that she has shown so far and we have no doubt this will continue as the year progresses.
Well done!
Our first full month back in school has come to an end as we say farewell to September whilst welcoming in October.
Everyone has settled into the academic year with ease. Lots of exciting and valuable learning and initiatives have been taking place within the school with the children fully immersed throughout.
Today at assembly, we recognised the fantastic contributions of our Pupil of the Month winners. It was extremely interesting to hear why these children deserved their awards and what they had done to earn them.
Well done to Úna (P1), Sophie (P2), Eilish (P3), Gerard (P4), Alfie (P5), Charlie (P6) and Riley (P7)!

As a school with a strong focus on ICT, we were enthused to take part in National Coding Week.
Our Foundation Stage classes were engaged with programming BeeBots, whilst KS1 were busy operating as programmers with the Sphero Balls.
P3 to P7 also took part in the online Nerve Centre workshops that were hosted on Wednesday and Thursday. Scratch Jnr was the coding app utilised here as the boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed the interactive nature of the tasks and challenges.

Ryan - P3
The Principal’s Award this week goes to P3 student Ryan. Ryan has been working exceptionally hard so far in class and has made huge improvements in his handwriting during sentence writing.
Ryan shows excellent manners every day and always puts his hand up to ask a question.
Ryan loves participating in class and shows excellent skills during PE. PE is one of Ryan’s favourite subjects and he really enjoys all the different games we’ve been playing.
Ryan is a great friend to everyone and is always ready for work.
He also enjoys numeracy and has lots of fun during some of the starter games we have been playing before we begin classwork.
He has made a fantastic start to P3!
Each teacher on a weekly basis provides their reasoning for selecting a specific child for this award. It was very interesting today to listen to the different talents, skills and positive attributes that our students possess.
Well done to our Pupil of the Week winners namely:
P1: Kiannah-Mae, P2: Niamh, P3: Scarlett, P4: Aoibhe, P5: Darragh, P6: Beth and P7: Gerard.
Tomorrow (Saturday) is a very important day in the history of Dundrum GAC as the club recognises two deceased members who made an 'outstanding contribution to the club in their lifetime' namely Paddy Cunningham Snr. and Aloysius Rooney.
There will be a parade of all club members (juvenile, senior and families) which will be setting off from the entrance of Church Avenue, led by the St Joseph's Pipe Band, Longstone, at 1:30pm. All those in attendance are encouraged to wear club gear and club colours.
The memorial plaque unveiling will take place at 2pm at the clubhouse with exhibition football matches for all juvenile boys and girls along with tea, coffee and refreshments to follow.
Come out and support the club in what is set to be a great day!
