Knock National School

Reminder: the school will be closed on Monday 13th January, to facilitate essential staff training.

The King’s Hospital School are hosting a parent talk with David Coleman and their Headmaster, Mark Ronan, which may be of interest to parents of 4^th-6^th class pupils. It is entitled ‘Easing the Transition to Secondary School. Tickets are only €10, available on the following link https://www.kingshospital.ie/david-coleman-ballina, with all the proceeds going to ISPCC Childline.

St. Stephen’s Day Walk

Come and join our annual St. Stephen’s Day Walk after the 12 noon Mass (approx. 12:45pm) at the gates of the Old Church and walk the beautiful 3km loop around the Shrine grounds. This year all proceeds go to the Order of Malta, Knock National School and Knock Community Centre. Suitable for all ages!

Reminder that our Bat workshop is on Monday 16th in school; it will be a fun day and all the children may dress up for the occasion, preferably with a bat or halloween theme.

There will not be any live bats as they are a protected species!

We look forward to seeing all the fabulous costumes.

Paul Lawless from Claremorris Community Radio will visit the school Friday afternoon to record some of the children singing and talking about Christmas; this will be aired on CRC over the coming week. We also intend to send in a recording of the children singing to Midwest Radio, hopefully to be aired on their Santa radio show on Christmas Eve.
