Savings Club
Children are encouraged to save by partaking in the school’s saving scheme. Every Friday saving stamps may be purchased for €1 each. These are put on a saver’s card until full (total €20), and then you bring it to the Post-Office to put into an account or to cash in. There is no obligation to partake in this scheme.
Book Rental Scheme
A book rental scheme operates within the school. This scheme provides textbooks for all pupils. All workbooks on the booklist are not part of this scheme. Workbooks are filled in during the school year, so all workbooks are purchased. Pupils must show respect for all school property and for rented books by having them covered and kept neatly. These books must be returned at the end of each school year. If you transfer from this school during the year all books must be returned to ensure that this scheme continues.
