- Summer Fete and Fun Day – 4 days to go!
Just 4 days to go until our annual Summer Fete and Fun Day at Dillonstown School on Sunday 18th June from 2pm – 5pm.

We will have the usual barbeque, bouncy castles, dancing, sports, ice cream – all the best things about summer!
We would love if you could join us for lots of fun to celebrate another great year at the school. Everybody is most welcome.
The planned timetable can be seen here:

Please make sure to get your bottles for the bottle stall and cakes for the cake sale ready!
We are still asking for parents to help us on the morning of the Fete to set everything up, during the day to keep everything running and of course, more help will be needed to tidy and finish up afterwards. The more help we have the less work falls to each person, so please get involved and help where you can.
To get involved please just text or WhatsApp Joanne on 087 905 9252. You can also join our Parents Group on WhatsApp which is a great way to keep up to date with what’s happening with the school.

Today was our day of action for our Green School Travel Flag. We have banned cars from the school for the day so teachers and pupils must walk, cycle or scoot to and from school! As you will see from the pictures it was a huge success!
