Fáilte roimh gach éinne ar ais ar scoil i gcomhair an triú téarma! Welcome back everyone to school for the third term! We’re springing into action with our annual Spring Clean. Each class has a different area of the school and premises to clean.
Garden gets a makeover
We have entered a Tidy Schools Competition. Representatives from DLR County Council will visit the school any day this month to make their assessment on how clean and tidy we are. They will also be interested in hearing about our environmental projects. We ask for everyone’s help to keep the entrances particularly clean as first impressions have a big impact.

BOYS HOCKEY FINAL!
On Tuesday the 8thof April, DSP Boys hockey team 1 were in the Leinster under 12 hockey final against Castlepark. Loads of students,family and friends came to support the winning team. Both teams played really well. Unfortunately Castlepark scored a goal, but it didn’t count. Dalkey scored five goals: Oisin, Adam and Justin all scored one and Matthew scored two! Congratulations to both teams for getting into the final, and especially Dalkey for winning:) Everyone was so happy when we won:)
