🍔🥘🥒🍌 Dinner Menu Update 🍔🥘🥒🍌 Due to staff shortages in the canteen, please see the amended menu for Weeks Two and Three. Please note that the second choice will not be available during these weeks. The Education Authority is responsible for the provision of school meals and, as such, this matter is not at the Principal's discretion. At present, second choices remain available in Weeks One and Four. However, this is subject to change should staffing levels be affected. The school will provide a further update in two weeks' time. Apologies for likely inconvenience caused.

🍂 Fómhar ag Teacht go dtí Bunscoil Cholmcille | Autumn Arrives at St. Colmcille's PS 🍂 Tá comharthaí an fhómhair le feiceáil ar fud ár gceantair scoile. Thug na daltaí faoi deara duilleoga ag athrú datha, úlla agus caora ag aibiú, bláthanna áille agus fiú fungais agus iad ag fiosrú an dúlra timpeall na scoile. Signs of autumn are appearing all around our school grounds. Pupils have been spotting colourful leaves, ripening apples and berries, beautiful flowers and even fungi as they explore the natural world around St. Colmcille's PS. 🍎🍁🍄🌳 #Fomhar #AutumnArrives #OutdoorLearning
