Extras Fees 2013/2014
Thank you to everyone who has paid their 2013/2014 Extras Fee.   All 2013/2014 Extras Payments must be paid in advance of Re-Registration for 2014/2015 School Year.  Please note, if your payment is made online, it is essential that we receive a copy of your receipt.  This can be forwarded by email to info@stpatricksns.ie , stating your child/children’s names. Alternatively, a printed copy can be dropped into the office.  This will ensure you are marked off as fully paid on the school database.

Re-Registration Form 2014/2015
We have a number of children on our Waiting List for Senior Infants to Sixth class places for the 2014/2015 school year. It is important that we can confirm as soon as possible whether or not we will have school places for them. Therefore, we will be distributing a Re-Registration Form to all children (JI – 5th Class) in early April.  The form will also be emailed to all parents.  We would ask that you return the fully completed form at your earliest convenience, confirming if your child/children will be returning to St Patrick’s for the next school year 2014/2015.  This will also ensure that we have correct contact details, (postal address, mobile numbers and email address) for all parents. You may pay the Extras Fee for the 2014/2015 School Year on return of the Re-Registration Form or alternatively defer payment until the new school year.
