• Jubilee Party Time

  Mon 30 May 2022

  It is party time!
  
  We were delighted to welcome the Department of Education to our school today to help celebrate the Queen's Jubilee.
  
  However, the PTFA have planned our very own special day with the whole school (Nursery to Primary 7)
  
  We are asking for a £2 donation to be brought in over the next few days, up to Tuesday.
  
  We have a great day planned for all - bouncy castle, slides, lunch outdoors and much, much more.
  
  P1-P7 will also be taking part in a JUBILEE COLOUR RUN at the end of the day.
  
  Please bring along an old white t-shirt, old trousers, shoes and sunglasses (something to cover eyes)
  
  The staff are also going to be getting involved in the fun and games.
  
  Please dress to impress, or if you wish to wear your white t-shirt and bottoms in to school, that is fine.
  
  Thanks so much
  
  Emma Quinn and the Rathcoole Team

• RATHCOOLE LAUNCH SAFER SCHOOLS APP

  Tue 30 Nov 2021

  30th November 2021
  
  Dear Parents and Carers,
  
  We are delighted to invite you to download our new Safer Schools NI App, provided to your school by the Department of Education and INEQE Safeguarding Group. (Downloaded Safer Schools last year? This new and updated App replaces it!)
  
  Did you know?
  92% of children in Northern Ireland use video sharing platforms, with 53% using social media and 65% accessing messaging apps (Ofcom, 2020). If your child hasn’t already been using these platforms, they soon will be! Therefore, it's more important than ever to be aware of how to keep your child safe.
  
  Please keep an eye on Class Dojo for messages, containing all the relevant details.
  
  P6 and P7 will be accessing their own app on devices but this is not available for younger pupils.
  
  Many thanks
  
  Emma Quinn
  
  Designated Teacher for Safeguarding
  
  Principal
