As we come to the end of a very busy first term here in Scoil Oilibhéir, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for your support, generosity and hard work in helping to ensure that your children had a fantastic few months in school since September.

Your children have worked very hard and have been encouraged by their exceptional teachers, SNAa and school staff to always do their best in school.  We have had many highlights this term with sporting, musical, spiritual, academic and personal achievements by our pupils and we are very proud of them for working so hard.

This is a busy time of year for everyone but it is also a time of reflection. We encourage your children to put the word "Respect" at the top of their agenda each day as they enter our doors. Because they come from homes where this word is also at the top of the agenda, we find it easier to remind them  of this message.We know that you will continue to help us in reinforcing this message with our boys and girls.

On behalf of everybody in the school community of Scoil Oilibhéir, may we wish you and your children and families a peaceful and holy Christmas and every blessing for a bright and fruitful 2012.
