book fair 2018
Our annual Book Fair, provided by Celtic Travelling Book Company,
takes place from Monday 12th November until Friday 16th November. The Book Fair is a wonderful way to promote literacy, a great way for the school community to come together and is an ideal opportunity to stock up on Christmas presents for family and friends.
The Celtic Book Fair offers a real choice in children’s books from all the major publishers including picture books, fiction, non-fiction, activity and factual books. Each fair offers up to 300 titles with selections to suit every age, taste, interest and budget. During the week children will become familiar with the available books and will be given opportunities to personally choose what they would like to read.

The school too will benefit greatly from the event. For every two books bought during the Book Fair, the school will receive one free book. These books are used to replenish and restock our class libraries with quality reading for all ages.
Each child has received a leaflet showing a selection of the books available at the Fair. The full display will be located in the Small Hall. The children will visit the Book Fair with their class at the times as listed below. Parents are invited to come along and help their child choose a book if they wish but there is no obligation to do so.
If you are unable to come at the appointed time, there are other ways you can purchase books:

Welcome to our school website. We are very proud of it and we hope you enjoy your virtual tour of the school. Our parents are our partners in education and their ongoing support helps to make Scoil Mochua the thriving, busy, happy school that it is. First and foremost, the website was designed as a window for our parents into our school and into classroom life. We want to share classroom stories and school life with our partners in education. We feel that it is important to share these precious moments from the children’s school life - we know they generate smiles and warm the heart! School life for our children is so varied, and the children are exposed to so many exciting learning opportunities. We love to capture these on camera and post them on the website so that families can chat about them at home.

Of course, the website also attracts visits from grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. We are delighted and proud to welcome all of you. Above all else in our school, we value the children’s happiness and their enjoyment of learning. Their energy, inquisitiveness and level of engagement in learning never ceases to amaze us. I hope some of this jumps off the pages as you browse through the photographs of class activities and school events.
For those of you who are history buffs, or are simply interested in learning more about Celbridge, you will enjoy reading about the history of Celbridge on the website. Our lovely village is steeped in history – you will be amazed!
And, of course, the website is an excellent communication platform. Read some of our policies, the school calendar, information on our super Parents’ Association, useful educational links to enhance your child’s learning, details on school sporting events – it’s all there. You can also follow us on Twitter @scoilmochua for updates on the wide variety of learning that happens in Scoil Mochua.
Happy Browsing!

Catherine Carragher, Principal.
