Information to Parents
The Department of Education has allowed the Solar Panel Application, made by the school last February, to lapse and so following contact and apologies from the Department, the school has had to re-engage with SEAI approved suppliers, obtain 5 quotes and re-upload the application in the hope that the Department of Education are more efficient this time and deal with the application on time.
A list of priorities for school improvement was drawn up by the school (for both inside the school building and outside) and plans drawn up to tackle the work over the next 6/9months. This includes replacing some carpets and floor surfaces within the school, tackling tree growth around the school, repainting parts of the outside of the school, power washing the remainder of the school yards and re-positioning the location of the school’s oil tank.
The oil burner in the heating boiler has had to be replaced recently.
