A hearty welcome back to one and all. I hope that everyone had a great summer and that we are all well rested and ready for an enjoyable and fruitful new school year. A special welcome to our new Junior Infants who begin the school journey today.

Tá an-chuid cainte na laethanta seo faoi na rud a thugaimid dár bpáistí le hithe. Mar is eol daoibh tá polasaí lóin sláintiúil againn i nGaelscoil na Camóige le fada an lá. Níl cead ag páistí aon bhia nó deoch nach bhfuil sláintiúil a thabhairt ar scoil. Níl cead acu aon chnónna  a thabhairt isteach ach an oiread.

There is a lot of talk these days about what we are feeding our children. At Gaelscoil na Camóige we have a successful healthy lunch policy in operation for some years now. Children are only permitted to bring drinks and foods to school that are healthy. Food containing nuts are also not permitted.

* * * * * * * * * *

Iarrann ár n-árachasóir orainn a mheabhrú do thuismitheoirí go dtosnaíonn an scoil ag a 8.50 a.m. agus go gcríochnaímid ag a 1.30p.m. do na naíonáin agus 2.30p.m. do na ranganna eile. Ní féidir leis an scoil a bheith freagrach as na páistí taobh amuigh de na hamanna sin. Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí na páistí a fhágáil ar scoil in am agus iad a bhailiú ón scoil in am ag deireadh an lae.

Our insurers ask us to remind parents that the school opens at 8.50 a.m. and finishes at 1.30 p.m. for infants and 2.30 p.m. for all other classes. The school cannot be responsible for children outside of these times. I would ask all parents to be punctual in leaving the children to school in the morning and collecting them in the afternoon.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Beidh Rang a 3 agus Rang a 6 ag dul ag snámh an téarma seo, ag tosú ar an Aoine, an 9 Meán Fómhair. Tá sé fíor-thábhachtach go bhfuil éadaí snámha, hata snámha agus €1 acu ar fad gach Aoine.

3^rd Class and 6^th Class will be going swimming this term, starting Friday^, September 9th. It is important that all children come to school with their swimming clothes, swimming hat and €1 every Friday.
