Camogie

Well done to all the girls who recently took part in our Camogie trials. With 66 girls from both 5^th and 6^th class trying out, it made our job to select this year’s panel extremely difficult. It is wonderful to see such an interest in this fantastic sport and the skill all the girls displayed is a tribute to our local GAA clubs – Clontarf, Scoil Uí Chonaill and Na Fianna.

Morning Supervision for School Library

A thuismitheoirí/ a chaomhnóirí,

Belgrove Senior Girls’ School is very fortunate to have a well-stocked school library. It is used on a daily basis by various classes. The girls are free to borrow a wide variety of books to enhance their reading skills.

All the books in our library are catalogued electronically on the Aladdin Library system and organised alphabetically by Author on the library shelves.

A rota of 6^th class girls will be set up to help maintain the library by organising the books on the shelves and cataloguing new books in to the library system. It is hoped that the girls could perform this function before formal classroom teaching begins, from 8:45 – 9:00am, three mornings a week.

In order to facilitate this we are looking for parent volunteers to help supervise the girls in the library on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 8:45-9:00. If you think you could give 15 minutes of your time on one or more of these mornings, on a weekly basis or fortnightly basis, please contact the school office on 01-8331888 or email to info@belgroveseniorgirls.ie.

Thanking you for your continued support.

Le meas,

Catherine Brodie,

Library Co-ordinator
