The Department of Education and Skills has provided free books and copies for all children for the school year 2024/2025.  We thank Bernadette for covering and labelling all books and copies for all children in the school.  Please note that the funding awarded for this has been reduced from €96 to €80 per child this year and schools must make up the shortfall.  Art and Craft supplies and photocopying is not covered by this scheme.

This year’s contribution is €55 per child to cover the following costs per child: –

  • Pupil Insurance
  • Arts & Crafts supplies
  • Photocopying
  • Extra-curricular activities (Term 1)

The following method of payment is now accepted: –

  • You may send cash/cheque with your child in a sealed envelope showing the name and amount on the outside of the envelope and give it to the class teacher or to Bernadette in the office. Receipts will be issued for these payments.
  • You may pay it through the bank. Here is the information you will need to do this.  Account St. Patrick’s NS.  BIC AIBKIE2D.  IBAN IE70AIBK93203532325063.  Please ensure you enter your child’s/children’s name/names in the payment reference. Receipts will be issued for these payments also.
