The Department of Education and Youth has launched an important survey, inviting parents, guardians, staff, and board members of primary schools to express their views on the future of our primary schools. This is a unique opportunity for members of our school communities to “have your say” and help shape the direction of education for the next generation.  The link to the survey is: https://www.gov.ie/en/department-of-education/campaigns/primary-school-survey/ I strongly encourage any of the above groups to participate in the survey and share your opinion.  If you are interested in change or also very importantly if you are happy with the current patronage and Catholic ethos and would like it to continue, please ensure that voice is represented before the 16^th of December.
