Parent Contributions
Many of the services that Scoil Niocláis provides are as a result of parent contributions. Recently, those contributions to swimming, art, Irish Dancing and local contribution are “drying up”. The school has tried to lessen the financial burden on families in recent years by cutting some activities e.g. Speech and Drama classes and by reducing the number of fundraising events e.g. Golf Classic etc..
However, if we are to continue to offer the best learning environment and experiences for our pupils, all parents must make the effort to contribute. Otherwise, these events will have to be cancelled. So, if you haven’t made your contributions to date, we would be grateful if you could do so now. Thank you all for your continuing support for Scoil Niocláis.
Please refer to the recent note from the school to all families.
