Schoolbooks, workbooks and copybooks are provided to every child by the school. All pencils, colours, copybooks etc will also be provided. There will be no charge for parents for these as the school will receive funding from the Government to cover these these costs.

 

There will, however, be a cost of €40 for each child to offset the costs not covered by Government funding. As ours is a Junior School, all books and workbooks need to be replaced each year (as the children write / colour in their books).

 

While the Government funding covers the cost of the the vast majority of classroom materials, this additional money is needed to buy Arts and Crafts and other classroom materials. It also helps cover book loan costs. Each child has access to leveled readers which are supplied by the school on loan and returned afer use. Junior Infants begin using these books in the 2nd term. All other classes have access to these books throughout the school year. The children, then, will need to bring just a schoolbag and pencil case on the first day of school (as well as lunch boxes / bottle etc). Their books and other materials will be given to them by the teacher. The €40 can be paid through the Aladdin app or at the school office (cash / card) from 26.08.24.For information on the schoolbook scheme please click here.
