Anti-Bullying Awareness week 2009 Our ‘Anti-bullying Awareness Week’ was a great success this year.   A bully patrol system has been set up now as a result and sixth class children monitor the situation in the playground. The other children know that they can discuss any issues they might have with the patrollers. There is also a ‘Problem Box’ in the entrance hall of our school where children can confidentially leave their comments or problems. This box is checked by the bully patrollers and issues are handled with the help of staff members. Each child discussed the issue of bullying with their class and their teacher.  Our notice board displays tips for children to help deal with bullies. Each family has also received an information booklet giving tips, advice and useful website addresses. (If you did not receive this please do not hesitate to contact the school) Hopefully these changes will help to make our school a ‘Bully-free zone’.

!!!  Spellathon  !!!

On behalf of the staff and Board of Management of St. Peter's N.S. we want to sincerely THANK the parents and children of our school for their recent efforts in our annual fundraising Spellathon. The whole school community is THRILLED with the amount raised and it is so heartening and humbling to all concerned, to see such support from the people of our local community and indeed further afield. Our children and their guardians have, once again, excelled themselves and these funds will be used to provide valuable resources for the school. We, in St. Peter's applaud your generosity.

MÍLE BUÍOCHAS!
