School Uniorm
Our school uniform is now in stock at Rathbawn Embroidery, Tullow, R93 F786.
If you have already ordered your child's new uniform, your order should be ready for collection from Rathbawn.
Our new uniform consists of a crested quarter-zip jumper. Pupils can wear generic navy tracksuit bottoms, blue polo t-shirt & runners. In warmer weather, pupils can wear navy shorts (O'Neill's or similar navy sports shorts also allowed).
A Visit from the INTO
We were delighted to welcome Dorothy McGinley, President of the INTO to our school.
We got to try on her chain of office, it was really heavy!
Green Schools Travel Flag
As part of earning our Green Flag for Travel, the pupils have been learning about the impact car idling can have on air quality. Whilst we are lucky at Rathmore NS to be situated in the countryside, with lots of fresh air around us, the pupils are aware that idling engines do have a negative impact on the air around us. We hope that the car driving people in our school community will try to do their bit for the environment, and switch off car engines whilst in the school car park.
