Fáilte ar ais chuig DSPNS. Welcome back for summer term! We are busy getting our Green School Committee and annual Spring Clean underway. Táiniste Eamon Gilmore will attend Assembly on Friday to officially mark the occasion. Please wear something green to join in the celebration.

 We are revising our ethical education values for the month of April. The values we have been teaching to date are:

 Respect                               Cooperation                         Peace

Happiness                            Love                                                               Freedom

Each value has been explored in every class on a weekly basis, and children have been rewarded for showing a commitment to demonstrating these values in school. Below are examples of our objectives for Respect and Freedom:

Respect We will show respect to others, by being polite and mannerly, kind and helpful. We will show respect for our own property and that of others, by being careful with possessions and equipment. We will respect our surroundings by being tidy.

Freedom We all have a right to be free. We will learn that freedom comes with responsibilities. We will use freedom to make good choices at work and at play. Ethos Self Evaluation

Thanks to everyone (parents/guardians, staff and pupils) who completed the survey on the school ethos. The online surveys will remain active until next Monday April 23rd if you have not already contributed to the process and would like to have your say! Paper copies can still be submitted until this Friday (copies available in the office if you need one).
