WHAT'S HAPPENING

THIS WEEK: (Week Beginning 2nd December)

Open Night

Thank you to everyone who attended our school's Open Night on Thursday, 5th December 2019. It was wonderful to meet so many 6th class students as they begin their transition from primary school to secondary school and we look forward to welcoming them to the Community School in September 2020.

We will begin constructing the timetable for the next school year on the 16th December 2019. Students who wish to attend Carrick-on-Shannon C.S. as 1st Year student in 2020 should complete the online enrolment forms by then. There are two forms as part of the enrolment process:

Enrolment Form Stage 1 notifies the school of your interest in your child attending Carrick-on-Shannon C.S.

Enrolment Form Stage 2 confirms that you wish to accept an offer of a place in Carrick-on-Shannon Community School. It also collects information regarding permissions to take photographs at school events etc.

To enrol in Carrick-on-Shannon Community School you must complete both forms. To access each form, please click on the links above.

If you are unable to complete either form, please contact the school and we will be happy to assist you in whatever way we can.

'Use Your Brain Not Your Fists' Film Launch

We were privileged to attend the launch of the Use Your Brain Not Your Fists film in The Bush Hotel on the 27th April 2018.

The short film, by Leitrim Comhairle na nÓg, highlights the devastating consequences that can occur when a person uses their fists instead of their brains in a conflict situation. The film is dedicated to Shane Grogan and to the memory of Andrew Dolan. Both Andrew and Shane were victims of seperate unprovoked assaults while enjoying time out with their friends. Andrew died as a result of the assault while Shane was left with brain injuries. Both Shane's and Andrew's parents attended the launch and shared their personal stories with us.

Please click on the link to watch the video and remind everyone to Use Your Brain Not Your Fists.
