Some parents have been in touch asking for information when applying to Departments for Back-to-School Allowance or St. Vincent de Paul.
So, I list below some key reminders:

- Remember to apply for the Back to School Clothing & Footwear Allowance (if applicable). This scheme is open for 2021 and if you do not qualify for automatic payment you must apply for the allowance. The allowance of €200 approx. is payable for each eligible child aged between 12 to 22 years of age.
- School starts at 8.35 a.m. and finished at 3.35 p.m. daily, except for Wednesday: 8.35 to 12.55 p.m.
Payments via BANKING ON-LINE are to reduce footfall to the school office. Remember, when making a payment to use your son’s name and year as a reference at all times.
