NCPS Parent Council

Summer Fayre 7/6/25

Our annual Summer Fayre will be held on Saturday 7th June from 12-2pm. Please see below for more information.

We are hopeful that this lovely weather continues so we can host it in the playground!

We need your help

If you are able to support us at a stall at the Summer Fayre, please contact a member of the Parent Council or contact the school to note your interest and someone from the Parent Council will be in touch.

Dress Down Day

The Parent Council will be hosting a ‘Shorts and Shades’ Dress Down Day next Friday 23rd May. Children can come to school in their play clothes and sunglasses for the day.

There will not be monetary cost to this, we ask instead for your child to bring along a chocolate donation, which the Parent Council will then use to make up hampers for the upcoming Summer Fayre.

Did you know?

The Parent Council plays such a vital role in our school, with many events and opportunities for our young people made possible through Parent Council funding and effort.

This includes:

  • School Discos
  • Tuck shops at our school shows
  • Swimming lessons for the whole school gained through a successful Small Wind Farm application
  • Contribution towards our P7 Residential trip through a successful NCDT funding application
  • Whole school Christmas pantomime trip through a successful NCDT funding application
  • Christmas and Summer Fayres for the whole community

If you would like to be a part of this positive contribution to our school and to the lives of our young people, please join us!!!

Next meeting

The next Parent Council meeting will be held on Tuesday 27th May at 6pm. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sun Safety

At Get Together this morning we discussed sun safety. ☀️
With this lovely weather we have been having, it is important our young people remember to:
Slip 👕
Slop 🧴
Slap 🧢
Slide 🕶️
Shade ☂️

Please ensure your child comes to school with a sun hat/sunglasses and sun cream applied in the morning. It would also be useful if they had a bottle of sun cream (with their name on) in their school bags so they can apply it to themselves later in the day.

Afterschool Clubs Term 4

Please see information in the Form below about additional Afterschool Clubs running this term.

(Please note that Football, Mary Poppins JR and Extra-Time Club will also run and families of children involved in these groups are aware.)

Spaces are limited so register your child quickly. You will be contacted via email to confirm your child has been allocated a space.

Mary Poppins JR

Cast T-shirts

This year, we are again gifting our School Show cast with Mary Poppins JR T-shirts which they can wear to rehearsals, will wear at the end of the show when all cast are on stage and also as a wee memento to keep to remember their time being part of this experience.

Can parents/carers, please complete the Form below to let us know sizes by no later than Friday 2nd May to let us get the order in.

Rehearsals

Please note that rehearsals will run on a Monday 3-4pm (song practise) and a Wednesday 3-5pm (full stage rehearsals). It is important that all cast members attend. If your child cannot attend a rehearsal, please be courteous and let Mrs McNulty know.

Stage Hands

We are looking for children who would be keen to attend rehearsals to support us with props and staging. If your child would be interested in this, please contact Mrs McNulty by email.

Swimming Lessons

We are delighted to share with you that due to a successful funding application to the Small Wind Farms, every child in our school will receive a 4 week block of swimming at our local swimming pool. Please see the timetable below of when your child’s class will attend.

On your child’s swimming days they must bring in a bag:

  • A towel
  • Swimsuit/shorts
  • Goggles (if they wish to use them)

Parent helpers to support the walking to and from the pool have been arranged, however, they cannot support with the changing of any of our pupils, other than their own.

We ask that if any parents/carers of our infant classes (P1, P1/2, P2/3) wish to come to the pool to support with the changing of their OWN CHILD ONLY prior to or after the lesson is finished, please see the timings below. The class teacher will also be on hand to support with the changing of our infant classes.

Please note that there will not be any phone calls made home for missing swimming bags, as we are sure you can appreciate how busy our office is. Any child who does not have the appropriate kit will sit pool side with their class teacher during the 30 minute lesson.

A huge thank you again to the Small Wind Farms for their generous donation, we know our families will be extremely grateful of their child receiving the opportunity of lessons at no cost to them. ❤

CJCE P1-P4 Girls Football Class
