School Hot Lunches
Our pupils receive daily hot lunches from The Lunch Bag. Please remember to send in their lunchbox every day so that children can bring home any leftovers and please ensure your child's name is visible on the lunchbox always. Your child still needs to bring a small snack for break time and a drink. If you have any queries regarding the lunches, please email info@thelunchbag.ie and they will be happy to help.
The Lunch Bag has recently teamed up with renowned psychologist, Dr. David Coleman. Please read the leaflet below for his expert guidance on fostering healthy eating habits in children.
Partnering with Dr David ColemanIn Loving Memory of Michael Morris
Our whole school community was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend Michael Morris on July 18th. Michael was our caretaker, who looked after our school with pride. Michael had a kind and cheerful word for everyone he met. He loved to chat to all the staff and children. He had a warm and infectious personality, and a great sense of humour. We have fond memories of Michael playing soccer with the children, or sharing a joke with them. Together with Patricia, our friend and retired Deputy Principal, they were the ‘dream team’ at school. They ensured that the school was maintained to the highest standard.
Michael’s sense of fun and good nature will be greatly missed by everyone in St. Comán’s Wood. He was a true character who always left a smile on everyone’s face.
To his beloved wife Patricia, cherished daughters Máire, Orna, Aisling, we extend our deepest sympathies. To Michael’s sisters Mary and Bríd, brothers Jerome and Noel, to Deirdre and all the Morris and Horan families, we offer our condolences to you all.
In the words of Rev. Fr. Kevin Fallon in his homily at Michael’s funeral, we have lost a ‘legend’. Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
New Primary Mathematics Curriculum - Information for Parents
The aim of the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum is that children see maths as important and useful to their everyday lives.
It is essential that parents/guardians are made aware of the changes to the curriculum that have taken place to date and what will be happening over the years to come. In this regard the Department of Education, in collaboration with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) and the Professional Development for Teachers (PDST), has developed a leaflet which is designed to introduce these changes and encourage parent/guardians to engage in the future consultations seeking feedback on the draft curriculum areas and subjects of the new curriculum.
The leaflet is presented in many languages. Please select one to read information about the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum.

The primary curriculum is changing and will continue to change over the coming years.

The NCCA, NCSE and PDST have developed a leaflet which introduces parents to the changes in the new curriculum and encourages parents/guardians to engage in the future consultations seeking feedback on the draft curriculum areas and subjects of the new curriculum.
