Get Set, Go!

The theme of our assembly this month was Get Set, Go! The whole school assembled in our school hall this morning where the Assembly Committee were on hand to give out certificates, and take handprints for our Hall of Fame.

The theme of the Assembly was all about getting off the year to a great start. As the Irish proverb says "Tús maith leath na hoibre"- a good start is half the work. Getting back into routines means working on good habits too so we reminded the boys of five really important habits:

• Being kind to others
• Eating healthily
• Exercising
• Cleaning up after themselves
• Getting into a good homework routine

Individual awards were given to boys in every class. Ms Rice and Ms Egan`s classes both won the Line Awards for being the best at lining up in the yard this month. And a new award was presented for excellence at assembly. This award recognizes the excellence in being respectful, responsible and safe in entering, leaving and during assembly. Mr Ryan and Mr Arthur`s classes were delighted to win that award.
