Christmas Fair
Dear Parents/Guardians
The annual Christmas Fair will take place on Thursday 12th December in Rathmore Community Hall. This highly anticipated event is the culmination of much planning, school practices and preparation by members of the Parents Association chaired by Sandra Courtney and all the teachers in Rathmore N.S. who have been rehearsing with the children in their classes and putting the finishing touches to their performances on stage.
Special thanks to parent and board member Conor Flynn for organising the music and lighting production which is always very professional.
Thanks also to you the parents/guardians who support this fundraising event in such numbers each year. We look forward to welcoming you all on the day and guarantee that you will be fully entertained. Please remember to exercise caution when entering and exiting the car parks and use the designated car parking areas only. Please note that while parents/guardians are permitted to take photographs of their children for their own private use, under Data Protection legislation they shouldn’t share images of other children in a public forum i.e. on social media platforms. All the class performances will be recorded by a member of the Parents Association.

Standardised Tests Trial
We have been selected as one of 100 schools to take part in a trial of the revised MICRA-T standardised test in English by Mary Immaculate College of Education in Limerick, in order to take account of the changes in the new Primary Language Curriculum. Pupils in all classes from 2nd to 6th will complete the test in school on a trial basis. No pupil names are required and the completed tests will be returned to the publisher for scoring and analysis.
