Micro Forest planting in Saint Luke's NS

Stepping Stones Forests
St. Luke’s has been chosen to participate in the ‘Stepping Stones Forests’ project which is sponsored by Amazon Web Services In Communities’. See link below for previous projects:
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
The project involves the planting of a wide variety of native Irish trees, which will take place in early 2023 around our school campus!! This will hopefully add to our Green Schools Biodiversity flag application this year!! On Friday (October 21st), a group of volunteers will visit the school to prepare the soil for this project. It involves putting layers of paper and cardboard which will then be covered by a thick layer of wood chip mulch on the ground where trees will be planted in the spring.

​
These forests are small, dense,  native woodland habitats on the grounds of schools. Stepping Stone forests are  outdoor  classrooms. The little forests provide an opportunity for classes to spend time outside learning about nature. Children grow and mature along with the forest.  There are  a lot of reports and online materials that demonstrate the fantastic benefits for children of being exposed to forests and to learning in a natural environment. Please see below for some links.

We require as many classes to assist rolling out this project!! Weather dependent obviously, but please ask the children (only those timetabled) to wear suitable attire for outside and helping out.
​

Classes not involved this week will get their turn when planting happens in early 2023! 

Many thanks to EY and The Mens Shed Mulhuddart also for volunteering their services tomorrow !

New Anti-Bullying Policy Saint Luke's NS

13/10/2022

0 Comments

 
Dear Parents

We hope that you are all keeping well.

We have updated our Anti-Bullying Policy here at St. Luke's NS. It has been approved by the school's Board of Management.

This is a very important policy which everyone must read. We take the issue of bullying at school very seriously.
Our new policy has been brought up to date to include the latest guidelines and best practice.
We will display the policy on our school website.
If you have any questions you can speak with me by calling the school office on 018856015.

Warm regards
Ms Bourke

The Lunch Bag

11/10/2022

0 Comments

 

 
Dear Parent/Guardian,
 
 
We are very excited to welcome ‘The Lunch Bag’ school lunch delivery service to our school.
 
The service allows families the opportunity to provide their children with 5 different lunch
choices in a week, with a choice from over 1,700 different combinations of high quality
sandwiches, wraps, rolls, pastas, salads, noodles and snacks, for as little as €2 a day
for a 3 piece lunch.
 
While the health benefits of a varied diet are immeasurable, the service has also proven
to remove packaging from the macro retail supply chain by over 1,700% in one class
alone, with a reduction in food waste in the home by over €400 a year.
 
Lunches are delivered for free into the classroom before the children arrive to school.
 
All children in the school will bring home an ‘Intro bag’ onTuesday 11th Oct.
First lunches will then be delivered on Thursday 13th Oct.
Please remember to order before 12 noon the day before you want lunch.
 
Please note the school may not be available to view on the app until you receive this
sample bag on launch day.
 
As the safety of children is of paramount importance, The Lunch Bag service
ensures that any children with allergies will not be exposed to any product containing
that allergen, with the kitchen a 100% nut free facility. This information is all available
within the brochures, however, if you have any further queries, just call 043 33 62038 or
email info@thelunchbag.ie

This is a fantastic opportunity for the school, and we look forward to seeing the
benefits to both children and parents alike. Please take a few moments to review the
attached brochure and register.

Congratulations to the teachers and all of the pupils in Ms Barrett's and Ms Kilcommin's classes who were here to meet the Mayor of Fingal last Friday. The pupils also had a great lesson on our school weather station.
There are a couple of stories now in the local media - The Raven and Fingal Council News. 
It was a great day!
