Financial Items

The Board of Management fully appreciate the support Parents’ provide during the year.  The costs below are based on the cost of items involved, the running costs of the school and the extra perishable equipment needed for the school curriculum.

The items are as follows:
Art & Craft (including photocopying paper, art supplies & perishable essentials) €40 per child or €60 for a family
Book Rental			€25 per child in 1st and 2nd class 
					€50 per child in 3rd-6th class (more core texts)
Maintenance (including Personal Accident Insurance €9)	€50 per family
This means €115 for a pupil in 1st & 2nd and €140 for a pupil in 3rd-6th class.

Pupil Personal Accident Insurance covers a pupil for the cost arising out of any accident, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, outside of school included.  Full information on the cover can be viewed on www.allianz.ie under the School Insurance Tab.

The Maintenance Contribution is used to meet running costs such as heating and lighting, particularly in November/December, when the government capitation funding no longer meets the needs of the school.  Regrettably it exists because DES Capitation Grants per pupil are not enough to meet these costs.

Books on the Book Rental scheme will only be given to the pupils whose parents have paid for the scheme.  If any parent would like to go and get their books privately, the school will provide the full list and suitable suppliers.  Any parent, for whom this creates difficulty, please contact the Principal to make suitable arrangements.

Parents, who fail to support the Book Rental Scheme, will not be allowed access the scheme for the following school year.
