• Principal’s Award

  Fri 11 Mar 2022

  Charlie from P5 was today’s recipient of the Principal’s Award. Charlie is an exceptionally polite and well mannered pupil. He is an extremely popular member of his class and a great friend to all. Charlie has an amazing talent for art and the standard of work that he produces is excellent. All his work is filled with creativity and his presentation is second to none. Charlie is also highly competent in Numeracy and he enjoys taking on challenges and solving problems. Likewise, he has produced some outstanding outcomes in World Around Us recently too.

  Well done!

  

• Staff Development

  Fri 11 Mar 2022

  There is a strong culture of Continued Professional Development (CPD) in Sacred Heart P.S. and we were delighted yesterday to team up with one of our partner schools, St Mary’s P.S. Dunsford for collaborative staff training.

  The workshop was led by Claire Devlin Consultancy with the themes centred on Literacy through World Around Us accompanied with integrated Talking and Listening. There was also great inspiration provided for using our locality here in Dundrum as a vehicle for outdoor learning opportunities.

  The content of this workshop will be progressed by our teachers and embedded into teaching within the school, for the benefit of all of our children.

  

• Gift Aid Scheme

  Fri 11 Mar 2022

  Sacred Heart P.S. in conjunction with POSH (Parents of Sacred Heart) currently operate a successful Gift Aid Scheme.

  As the school continues to grow and evolve, we are constantly looking to innovate in regard to fundraising and the generation of financial support.

  We are reaching out to our current parents and families as well as collective alumni to raise awareness of the scheme with the hope that more patrons will decide to come on board.

  In 2023, Sacred Heart P.S. will celebrate 50 years on its current site. As we move toward that milestone we thank our existing support base and look forward to welcoming on board our new patrons.

  Many thanks,

  Mark Fitzsimons (Principal).
