SCHOOL CALENDAR
Nearing the end of the school year, the calendar for the following new school year is decided upon by the Principal in consultation with other staff members.
The standardised school year as set out by the Department of Education and Science is adhered to. Discretionary days are allocated on the basis of practicality for the particular school year and usually determined by the length of the school term and the possible need for a short break during a particularly long term.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the calendar change during the course of a school year. Please see attached calendar for school year 2024/2025
Parents/Guardians are notified by newsletter at the start of the new academic year in September. School staff are also given a copy.
HEALTHY LUNCHES
It is the policy of St Riaghan’s to encourage all parents to promote a healthy, nutritious lunch to their children.
Lent is also a time when teachers encourage and remind children to cut back on treats and sugary snacks.
In October 2016, the school introduced free lunches to all its pupils. 11am snacks and hot lunches and water are delivered daily from Fresh Today. Funding is received from the Department of Social Protection.
Details of the hot meals will be communicated to all parents in due course.
Please find attached a sample menu from Fresh Today.
