This week at ACETNS, we have been learning all about Diwali. Diwali is the Hindu Festival of Lights and the celebration of new beginnings.

We had some amazing performances in assembly this week from parents and children who celebrate Diwali, with songs, dances, poems and stories.

We’re so lucky here at ACETNS to have so many talented children, here is one singing Twinkle Twinkle in Hindu for Diwali.

Department of Education have advised that for the health and safety of children and staff, schools are to remain closed tomorrow, Tuesday 17th October.

School closed tomorrow due to red status warning given by Met Éireann, national weather forecaster. Hurricane Ophelia is approaching Ireland and the Department of Education have advised all schools to close. The school shall re-open again Tuesday 17th.

Take a look at Evan’s 6th Class performing ‘Underneath The Sky’ by Oasis at assembly last Friday.

 Some boys from 3rd and 4th class took part a futsal blitz in Lucan Leisure Centre on Today. The boys put in some amazing performances and can all be really proud of themselves. They had two great wins and a very tight loss. There is a similar competition coming up after mid term for 5th and 6th boys.

Well done to the boys G.A.A team who recently competed in a blitz at Lucan Sarsfields. They put in an amazing performance and placed second in the league , winning their final match against Lucan East ETNS.

The boys continued their unbelievable run of results with a fantastic draw against Scoil Gáinne today. The boys fought back from 3 points down at half time to get a last minute point to draw the game scored by Steven. Every player should be proud of their performance in such horrible weather conditions. The team still have a chance of winning the league with their final  league game against Lucan East next week.
