Swimming

Next Wednesday afternoon will complete the eight weeks of swimming lessons in Mayfield Swimming Pool,  started in November.  Fifty-two pupils participated from Second Class to Sixth Class.  Some First Class and Senior Infants pupils who have brothers in Second to Sixth Class were also allowed to participate.   Four swimming  instructors were on hand each Wednesday, so that the boys could be coached at their own individual level.

It is proposed to start another eight week session of swimming lessons immediately after the Christmas break.  The course costs twenty-five euro, to be paid in advance.  Most of the current participants have expressed an interest in continuing on, but there is also room for a few more pupils.

The lessons take place on Wednesday afternoons, starting at 2.00pm.  Pupils who are going swimming may stay in the Lunch Room from 1.00-1.30pm under supervision, to convenience parents.

If you are interested, please get your money in as soon as possible.Learning to swim

Christmas Concert Dress Rehearsal

The Christmas Concert will be staged on Thursday next at the earlier than normal time of 5.00pm.  This change is to suit the younger children who find the late finishing time very tiring.  Hopefully, it will not inconvenience parents too much.  The pictures below were taken at the dress rehearsal in the Secondary School Hall where the Concert will be staged.
