• STORYTELLING WEEK - WE NEED YOU!

  Fri 06 Jan 2023

  6th January 2023 : WE NEED YOU!
  
  Dear families and carers
  
  We will be celebrating National Storytelling Week on 30th January to Friday 3rd February 2023 with all of our pupils from Nursery to Primary 7.
  
  We NEED YOU!
  
  As part of our Intergenerational Project we would love to invite parents/ grandparents into school to read or share a story with small groups of children.
  
  You do not have to be an Oscar Actor to come in - we need you to read like you read all the bedtime stories to your own children and grandchildren. Just be you.

  Please complete the form below so we can help plan and support you in the coming weeks. We will help guide and be with you there every step (or page) if the way.

  ____________________________________________
  All we need is a commitment of about 15-20 minutes over the course of the week. We will do all the rest.
  
  Any queries or questions, please just give me a message or call at school.
  
  This is going to be fantastic and so exciting for all the children to see family members in the school and nursery.
  
  Spread the word and get volunteering.
  
   

  

• WRAP AROUND CARE

  Thu 05 Jan 2023

  5th January 2023

  Dear Parent and carers

  As a school we have listened. 

  The response in December 2022 indicated that 100% of those who responded would be keen for wrap around care 5 days of the week. 

  I have met with MR Sports who provide current support in school with PE coaching and also support many local schools in wrap around care, summer schemes and much more. e.g St James, Whiteabbey, Star of the Sea.

  We would like to trial the Wrap Around Care in the coming months to make sure that we have it right for the 2023-24 academic year. 

  We also must ensure that it is feasible in the long term. 

  This is NOT a commitment to attend wrap around care in Rathcoole at present. 

  With that in mind, please respond to the questions below.  Please click link below.

  I will review responses and make arrangements to progress to the next step.   We are committed as a school to making this work for everyone.  

  Should it work well then school are also planning in 2023-24 to help support this further via the investment of extended schools funding. 

  We want to help support our community and Rathcoole Family. 

  
  Many thanks

  E Quinn
