Primary Debating Festival

The pupils in Mr. Collier’s 6th class and Ms. Malone’s 5th class have entered the 2019/2020 Primary Schools’ Debating Festival celebrating the power of language. The competition is organised by Kildare Education centre in partnership with Kildare County Library Service and is run in collaboration with Concern worldwide. Last year’s competition was of a very high standard and demonstrated that debating can help self-confidence, promote active listening and provide a platform for the use of skills such as analysis, deductive reasoning and flexible thinking. We will be entering a team of six pupils made up of pupils from 5th and 6th classes to represent Rathmore N.S. and we wish them every success!

Board of Management 2019-23

The term of office of the current members of Boards of Management expires on 30th November 2019 and the new term of office commences on 1st December 2019 for a period of four years. Two parent nominees, a mother and a father are required to be elected as part of this process. All parents/guardians will shortly receive a letter asking them to nominate one mother and one father from a list of all parents/guardians.

When a list of nominations has been prepared, a further letter will be sent to parents asking them to nominate one of the fathers from the list and one of the mothers from the list for election to the new Board of Management. If only one nomination is received from either panel, that person is deemed elected. If more than one nomination is received, a further ballot will be required when all votes will be counted in public.
