Today in Harcourt Terrace our active Student Council met with representatives of the P.G.T.A to discuss how to lay out some yard markings for our playground area. The children all decided through a democratic process. Thanks to the the parent representatives for including our Student Council in this important decision. As the saying goes “nothing about us, without us”.

The P.G.T.A will be assembling on Saturday from 11Am-3PM to paint the yard markings onto the ground via the stencils we kindly received this week. If you can lend a hand please get in touch with the P.G.T.A and pop along on Saturday.

Great assembly on Friday where the newly elected Student Council received their official badges! They told everyone about all of  their amazing ideas and plans.

There were also some Principal’s awards given out which is always very exciting!

Today in Harcourt Terrace E.T.N.S our newly elected student council met for the first time to make two very important decisions. The student council has two representatives from every class in the school.

They decided that the school will pursue the Green flag as our next new initiative following on from the Amber flag. Further information on the Green flag is available here: Green-Schools – Working together for a sustainable future (greenschoolsireland.org)

The second important decision taken was our school motto on well-being was decided. The motto is: “If you see someone without a smile give them yours.” This motto was created by Junior and Senior Infants. All classes put forward a motto but the student council thought that this was the best one for our school.

The Student council will meet every fortnight to make important decisions. As the saying goes “Nothing about us without us”.

Well done to all involved!

In April we celebrated Autism Acceptance month. It was a month where everyone in our school community came together. The parents hosted a coffee morning. The children and staff enjoyed lots of fun activities, celebrating how wonderful we all are together. We explored values like friendship, acceptance, inclusion and understanding. The children in our Autism classes and mainstream classes joined in classroom activities together. Check out how we got on in this short video:

We had a fantastic couple days this week celebrating World Book Day! There were lots of imaginative costumes and the children loved sharing their favourite book with their friends. We were also delighted to visit Rathmines library and look forward to many more visits. Check out the video to see some of the different fun activities from this week!

We had a super pancake Tuesday in Harcourt Terrace today! All the boys and girls were so excited and loved getting to add their favourite toppings to their pancakes. They gobbled them up so quickly but we did manage to get some photos, check out the video to see all the fun we had today!
