Wishing all students, staff and parents a very happy and safe summer holiday. Keep an eye on the website for any updates regarding the school's re-opening in late August.
Summer Message From Ms FITZGERALD
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The past few months have been unprecedented in the lifetime of St Ronan’s. Who could have foreseen when we were last in school on March 12th, that we would not meet up again as a school community before the end of the school year.
This unique and strange educational journey has seen the words Google Classroom and Seesaw become part of our everyday vocabulary, where remote learning replaced face-to-face teaching in the classroom. This was no easy task for the staff in St Ronan’s who rose spectacularly to the challenge before them. They worked tirelessly to ensure that the children were focused and their targeted work kept the children interested and engaged. For this I cannot thank the staff enough and I’m sure you share in my gratitude towards them.
I also wish to thank you, the parents, for supporting and guiding your children. We as a staff appreciate that it was more than tough to juggle home life and home schooling and any gaps in their education will be addressed in the new school year.
Last Tuesday we said goodbye to our 6th Classes during a socially distanced but very emotional graduation at the school. The children were presented with hoodies inscribed with all of their names. They also received a school pen and a special book as mementoes of their time in St Ronan’s. It was an uplifting occasion for all of us who were there on the day.
For the children of 6th Class, Confirmation is a huge milestone in their lives. Subject to Government health guidelines, the good news is that their Confirmation will now take place over 5 Sundays in September and October.
Holy Communion will take place on Saturday 10th October at 11am for Ms Davey’s present 2nd Class and on Saturday 17th October at 11am for Ms McCrudden’s present 2nd Class. First Confessions will take place in September in the school on dates yet to be decided.
Our greatest wish, as I’m sure yours is, is that everything will return to normal at the end of August. Please keep an eye on the website and as soon as we have definite information about our return to school we will let you know.
Have a wonderful summer, stay safe, and we’ll see you all at the end of August, please God.
Kindest Regards,
Mary FitzGerald

A word from Mary Fitzgerald, principal
Welcome to the website of St Ronan’s National School. I hope that as you browse through this website, you will get a flavour of our most wonderful and unique school.
Whenever we have visitors, they always comment on the positive atmosphere here in St Ronan’s. This would not be possible without the hard work and absolute commitment of every member of staff, our most fantastic pupils and their wonderful parents. As the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child” and the community here in Deansrath are so supportive of all initiatives ongoing in our school.
There is so much happening in our school, table tennis, badminton, swimming, hill walking, running, Green School’s Committee, Music Generation, orchestra, Accelerated Reader, Power Hour, Maths Blast, chess, the list goes on and on. We celebrate the richness of the many cultures, international and Irish, amongst us and anyone who leaves us, be it past pupil or staff member, they always say “there’s no place like St Ronan’s”
