APPOINTMENTS WITH TEACHERS
The Gaelscoil operates a child-centred communication policy. Consequently, both the teachers and I, as principal of the gaelscoil, are available at any time. However, an appointment must be made through the gaelscoil office. Precious teaching time will not be lost while speaking with parents without having satisfactory arrangements in place for the class.
SCHOOL UNIFORM/TRACKSUIT
Please ensure that your child wears the full school tracksuit to school each day. Tracksuits/polo shirts with school crests are available in McCannon’s shop situated in the Market. To keep costs to parents at a minimum GMC does not have another formal uniform.
