It is also a great opportunity to bring along your family and friends to see the school and enjoy a delicious lunch!
You can look forward to:
The RMDS Choir will be giving a special performance at 2 p.m. which I’m sure will be one of the many highlights of the day!
The Raffle will take place at 2.30 p.m. and the winner of the Christmas Jumper Competition will be annouced at 2.45 p.m.
I’m really looking forward to seeing you all there – my first RMDS Christmas Fair!

From the Student Council:
A huge well done to Student Council Representatives from Rang 5 and Rang 6 –
Shane Brady, Aisling O’Keeffe, Julien Kelly and Lara Fanning who did such a great job representing RMDS at the recent Educate Together Ethos Conference – Raising Children’s Voices in the Alexander Hotel. The children took part in the first ever #StudentMeet where children from a number of schools were encouraged to present on an initiative that took place in their school, in which they were involved. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to listen to and experience other ideas from different Educate Together schools and also meet students from these schools.
Our children presented on the project and work they carried out on Linear Park over the past while.
From the Green School Committee:
This year we are organising the Recycled Tree Decoration Competition again.
The competition will be for Rang 1 – Rang 6 with a prize for the best
recycled tree decoration in each of those classes. The decoration must have your name and class clearly written on a label.
When you’ve made your recycled tree decoration, bring it into school and put it in the special TREE DECORATION BAG in your classroom. The committee will collect them and hang them on display in the hall for judging.
The winners will be announced on the day of the Christmas Concert.
The deadline for bringing in your decoration is Monday,12th December.
Junior and Senior Infants are invited to make a decoration for display if they wish. Those will be hung up in the hall if the name is on the label!
Good Luck Everyone!
