• Safer Schools App

  Fri 07 Jan 2022

  We are delighted today to launch Sacred Heart P.S. within the Safer Schools app system. The app is the home of online safeguarding for school communities here in the North. It is a digital safeguarding communication toolkit which aims to engage the entire school community. It provides staff, parents, carers and pupils with the information we need to know and when we need to know it, which in turn helps everyone to be better informed and protected together.

  To download the app, simply search for 'Safer Schools NI' on Google Play or the App Store. When registering on the app, just search for our school 'Sacred Heart P.S. Dundrum.' The log in code for parents/carers is 7131 and the QR Code is attached in the image below.

• After School Club Programme - Term 2.1.

  Thu 06 Jan 2022

  The next five week block of our After School Programme commences on Monday 10th January and will run through to Friday 11th February.

  As we aim to provide a broad and varied assortment of After School activities for our children, we can now offer:

  Monday: Gardening, Forest School and Inventor's Club (STEAM).

  Tuesday: Play Based Learning and Arts & Crafts.

  Wednesday: Construction, ICT and Homework Club.

  Thursday: ActiSport.

  Friday: Games & ICT, Irish and Guitar.

  Each session remains at £2 and represents excellent value for money. SchoolMoney is to be used for all payments.

  Please note:

  There has been high demand for places at Guitar on a Friday. For those who did not secure a place this time around, we do plan to run further Guitar slots in our programme throughout Term 2 and Term 3.

  Thanks.

  

• After School Guitar Club

  Wed 05 Jan 2022

  Guitar is open for all those in P4 - P7 inclusive. There will be three thirty minute sessions on a Friday with Mr Doyle (1:30pm to 2pm, 2pm to 2:30pm and 2:30pm to 3pm). Each session will have 6 attendees to ensure a better small group learning experience for everyone. Therefore we have to cap the number of children able to particpate at 18. The cost of the club is £2. The first 18 people to respond on this form (link below) will provisionally secure a slot for their child. Session allocation will then follow with the first After School Guitar Club taking place on Friday 14th January. Guitars will be provided by the school but children can bring their own too if they so wish.

  Thank you.
