New Entrants- September 2023

Our first day at Ard Rí CNS 2023

Rang Niamh Junior Infants ’23
Rang Rachel Junior Infants ’23

Well done everyone,

All our Junior Infants have had circle time, done some lovely coloring-in, eaten their lunch and played with their friends on yard. They have all been doing really well. Well done to our mums and dads for being very brave also (LOL!). Just before 12 o’clock we will introduce you all to Shelley and Ciara from our Parent Association. They have a welcome letter for you and a little present for all the children to congratulate them on their first big day at school.

Happy days,

Darragh and all the team at Ard Rí
