In preparation for the safe return of pupils and staff to school after the summer holidays please view our updated Covid 19 Reopening Plan in our policies section.

The children of St. Bernadette’s were very lucky to receive caterpillars and ladybird eggs for their classrooms. The children took care of them and watched them grow into beautiful butterflies and ladybirds. The ladybirds were fed greenflies and the butterflies enjoyed some tasty oranges.

Here our some pictures of the children releasing them into the school garden.

Early Start

Well done to all the children on their amazing art works! Thank you Ms Loscher for all your hard work putting it together.

Two of the Senior Infant classes recently took part in a digital book project run by Clondalkin Library, where they had the opportunity to be the authors and illustrators of their very own story book.

The boys and girls loved working with the assistance of Barbara from the library in creating, designing and voicing their own characters and story lines.
