Thank you Carlow GAA for an amazing day! Our students were so proud to play on the pitch on County Final day and walk in the parade with the Palatine and Rathvilly teams. Our students played with skill and great sporting attitude.

Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered and supported us with our “Take a Step With Us” Movement Track Fundraiser. Thanks to your generosity we are off to a great start as we have raised €1932.33 this weekend!

This Sunday the 5th of October will be launching our “Take a Step With Us” fundraising project to raise funds to build a Movement Track on our grounds for all of our students to either walk, run, use their wheelchair, trike, or scooter on.

We’ll be outside at Cullen Park shaking our buckets and would be very grateful of your support!

We are so proud that our Football Team has been invited to play at Netwatch Park, this Sunday on County Final Day! Good luck to all the teams involved.

Congratulations to Carlow Town on their gold medal in the Entente Florale! Our school was one of the stops on the judges' tour and the committee received great feedback about our school. We had a chance to showcase some of the incredible work our school community has been working on such as growing our own fruits and vegetables, planting native Irish trees and flowers, and creating pollinator friendly spaces for the butterflies and bees. A special thank you to the students and staff who met with the judges and committee on the day. See if you can spot our school in this video from Carlow Tourism!

Semi Finalists! Fabulous day in Castledermot. Thanks to the amazing St. Laserians School staff football team and supporters, pictured together. It was lovely to see some students and families cheering us along.

Please support this if you shop in Tesco and let your friends and relatives know, thank you!

Our Parent Association meets next Tuesday, 10th September at 7pm in the school staffroom. All are welcome!
