We are very happy to welcome Niamh Whelton, our new Special Needs Assistant to Ballinacarriga NS. Niamh has part time hours in the school so will usually in here in the mornings.
Stella and Niamh will make a fantastic new Special Needs team.
Just a reminder that children cannot be dropped to school until 8.50am. The children are not insured to be on the school property before this time and on a more practical level, the teachers use this time to prepare for the day and we would really appreciate if you could respect this.
Parents, please find information and support that you may need to ensure your child makes the most of their time online and stays safe when interacting with others online. Also, it shows you how to set up parental control over your children's devices.

We would like to welcome you all back to school for another academic year. 11 new junior infants started with us this year and we wish both the children and their parents all the best during their educational journey! We are delighted to be part of it!
We have a new SNA this year as we unfortunately had to say goodbye to Eva Crowley but we would like to welcome Niamh Whelton to our team!! I'm sure she will be made more than welcome by children, parents and staff alike!
This year we will be focusing on promoting positive mental health. We have taken the 1st steps in brightening up the school yard with a new coat of paint on the school and a newly spray painted yard. We are presently working on colourful planters and a few more surprises.... We will also be starting yoga & mindfulness in the coming week also.
We are hoping for a very successful year and we would invite parents to visit the school and participate in or initiate activities as much as possible!!
