The school is now taking enrolments for September 2018.

Catholic School’s Week was a busy week in Castledockrell N.S.; the highlight of which was our annual Grandparents’ Day on Wednesday, January 31. We were delighted with such a big turnout; Grannies/Nannies and Granddads travelled from near and far to be with us on this special day. We had a short prayer service, following this the children sung songs and played music, then, together we planted bulbs and finally enjoyed a nice cup of tea and cake. Thank you to everyone who came.

Our Zumba lessons are under way and also our GAA training. As part of our Active School Initiative Lively Leo Lion’ will be going home with different children every night and taking part in lots of different games and activities.
