ANTI BULLYING TALK

Sean Fallon from Anti Bullying Campaign spoke to meetings of Teachers, Classroom Assistants and Parents on May 28th 2014. Staff and Parents from St. Oliver’s , Holy Cross Mercy, Presentation Monastery and Scoil Bhríde Loretto attended the meetings. The central points of the talks were

Every school needs formal intervention strategies to react to and prevent bullying. Punishment does not work.

Bullying exists and is shrouded in silence – we must break that silence through repeated messaging and pupil surveys.

Teachers react in a formal agreed yet private, confidential and caring manner – creating a behaviour contract with the child carrying out the bullying.

Repeated bullying is dealt with as a serious breach of discipline. This includes cyber bullying. School staffs and Parents Associations will meet to flesh out the policy in September 2014.

INFANT CLASSES 2014/2015

Following our Open Night on Thursday June 5th, a letter will be issued to applicants for Junior Infants assigning each child a class for September. These letters will be posted on Tuesday June 17th. Children and Parents are invited to meet their new teachers and pick up their booklists on Thursday June 26th from 9.45am – 11.00am
