Safer Internet Day February 6th

Safer Internet Day 2018
Safer Internet Day 2018 is almost here! Tuesday 6th February is a day to remind us about safe and responsible online use, especially for children.  

CyberSafeIreland’s latest annual report showed that that a third of children aged between 8 and 13 are rarely or never talking to their parents about online safety.  Parental engagement in their children’s online lives is a key part of the solution to keeping children safe online.  

We have produced a leaflet with the support of Tusla and the Children and Young Person’s Services Committee (CYPSC) in Wicklow that will provide some helpful conversation starters for parents to have with their children about online safety.

Please feel free to download and copy the leaflet and send home in schoolbags on Safer Internet Day.

Our annual school raffle

We are thrilled to announce that we raised €4600 this year in our school raffle.  A huge thank you goes to pupils and parents for their fund raising efforts, who worked very hard to help us achieve this fantastic amount of money!  This money is much appreciated and will be put to good use in the school.

We would also like to acknowledge the massive amount of work our secretary Paula put in to making the Christmas hampers and prizes.  I think you will all agree that she did an amazing job and we couldn’t do the raffle without her.  Míle buíochas Paula!

Congratulations Lewis Bride!

Lewis Bride’s sponsored fast raised €250.00 for the Capuchin Day centre.  A very worthy cause, the Capuchin Day Centre provides breakfast for the homeless every day.  Due to charity of people like Lewis, the Franciscans have been able to feed between 250/300 people every day.  We are very proud of Lewis in St. Malachys, he has completed a very Christian act of kindness.
