Sensory Garden Update.
A lot of work done on the new Sensory Garden over the summer. It has been a slow process and very time consuming for those involved but it will be worth it in the end. The area has been landscaped and grass seeds were sown a few weeks ago and are already very green.
Planting will begin shortly and the kids will become more involved from here on in.
Thanks to all who have helped and contributed so far.

Clonmel National School Rewards Programme
As they approach their 5th year in business Crunch Retail in the Showgrounds in Clonmel have announced their “Clonmel National School Rewards Programme”. Under this scheme they will reward one of the national Schools in the Clonmel area with a contribution of 2c for every customer transaction in their shops in Clonmel (Crunch Supermarket & Everything 2,4,6,8,10 both in the Showgrounds) for the months of July and August 2014.
There are 13 National Schools in the Clonmel area and our own Scoil Mhuire Newcastle is among those. However only one of the 13 will be chosen for this reward. The selection will be based on a vote of customers of Crunch and Everything 2,4,6,8,10. Starting on 12th May and running until the 31st May every customer in their shops will have the opportunity to vote for a school of their choice. The winning school will be the one with the most votes in this period. That school will be the one which will receive a donation of 2c for every customer transaction for June, July and August.
Customers can vote as many times as they shop from 12th May to 31st May. They will be updating the Vote tallies regularly on their Facebook page during that period.
If you are in the Showgrounds take a look in Crunch and Everything 2,4,6,8,10. If you decide to buy something make sure you vote for Scoil Mhuire Newcastle. And pass the word to all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. We’re a small school but perhaps what we lack in numbers we can make up for in enthusiasm.

Sensory Garden
“From little things,
big things grow”
By
Scoil Mhuire, Newcastle National
School,
February 2014
This proposal is been submitted to
representative members of
Newcastle Community Groups
Scoil
Mhuire Caisleán Nua had an enrolment is 119 pupils of mixed gender. The teaching staff is comprised of 4 class
Teachers including a teaching Principal, 1 Resource teacher, 1 shared Learning Support Teacher and 1 Special Needs Assistant.
Scoil Mhuire has the welfare
of the students in all matters, as its primary objective.
The aim of our school is to
provide a safe, structured and stimulating educational environment for each
student. Thus the responsibility of the
school is to help each student reach his/ her fullest potential. This means fostering the spiritual, moral,
intellectual, social and cultural development of each student.
It depends intrinsically on
the interest and positive support of Board of Management members, staff,
parents and students. The school depends
on the grants and teacher resources provided by the Department of Education and
Skills.
Vision Statement
The school community wishes to:
- Create a caring environment, which encourages respect, trust, consideration and support for others.
- Foster in each individual a strong sense of self-esteem and self-worth while appreciating the value of others.
- Provide adequate facilities and a relevant curriculum, which will cater for the full and harmonious development of each child – a curriculum that is flexible enough to cater for the uniqueness of each child, so that all children will achieve their full potential.
- Promote an inclusive ethos in all areas of school life.
“Plant the seeds and they will
grow”

Parents Association Update
Hi All,
Thanks to all who helped out with the catering for the 5K race on Sunday. They raised over €2100 for the school so very well done to Honor, Nessa and all involved in organising the event.
At our monthly meeting last week we decided to postpone the Valentine's raffle. There has been a lot of fundraising recently and it is largely the same people who we would be tapping again for money so it was proposed to delay this until later in the year.
I have contacted the National Parents Council and we will be holding some training in the next few weeks. More to follow on this.

At the last meeting we also decided to try and reschedule our "Christmas" Night Out. People seemed to be very busy in December so we had very small interest back then. The proposal now is Friday 7th February (possibly in Catalpa in Clonmel). Can you let me know if you are interested in coming along on the night.
Our next meeting will be Thursday February 6th at 8pm in the school.
Thanks & Regards,
Colm
