Castleknock Tidy Towns Information

Castleknock’s entry for the 2023 SuperValu TidyTowns National competition has recently been submitted. We are asking that local residents help us out where they can by having the area outside where they live kept free of litter and looking well – thank you.

We are always inviting people to volunteer with us, to join the Saturday Clean-Ups. We operate on a ‘Take part when you can’ policy, so you don’t have to attend every week, just when it suits you. We meet at Myos car park every Saturday morning at 10 am. We return to Myos again at 12 noon for a welcome cuppa and a chat. Email us at castleknocktidytowns@gmail.com to connect, and then just turn up. We provide high-vis bibs, gloves and all the equipment needed. We’d be delighted to have you onboard.

School Closed Monday, May 29th

In line with DES requirements, the BOM has approved a one-day school closure on Monday, May 29th, to facilitate staff training in the Primary Language Curriculum. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.

Good News for Parents and Guardians.

Back in October, our PTA held a very successful uniform recycling event. We hope to hold another in JUNE, so please don’t discard any uniforms your children have outgrown. We will post further details later in the term.

We are also delighted that the government has provided funding for us to purchase books, workbooks and copies, so parents will only need to fill a pencil case for their children in September.

Both of these initiatives will be a huge benefit to all our families with the expense of returning to school nest September.
