October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Parents/Guardians,

Our local Health Promotion and Improvement Officer, Keith Ryan has asked us to forward on this information regarding Breast Cancer Awareness Month:


October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and attached is a great resource on all aspects of breast cancer prevention, being breast aware, early diagnosis and BreastCheck screening for your own use and for circulation within in your networks.


Key messages:


Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women in Ireland
Approx 4,036 women in Ireland diagnosed each year and on average 30 men
1 in 7 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime
Most common in women age 50+ but can occur at any age
Being breast aware starting from teenage years onwards and knowing what to look out for are key to early detection and diagnosis
Registering and attending for your BreastCheck screening when you reach the age of 50
Be aware of the modifiable risk factors of breast cancer such as maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, quitting smoking, limiting your alcohol intake, and breastfeeding when applicable can significantly reduce your risk of breast cancer






Thank you,






Keith Ryan

NOISE Music Programme – 6th Class
Some of our 6th class pupils started the NOISE music programme this week and are really enjoying getting involved! They also enjoyed visiting Balgaddy Community Centre, where they are taking part in this exciting programme.

The children are having a great opportunity to explore music, develop new skills and express their creativity while having fun together.

We look forward to seeing what they get up to over the coming weeks!

3rd Class Parents' Coffee Morning
A lovely morning in Divine Mercy SNS as our 3rd class parents came in for a coffee morning and had the opportunity to meet their children’s teachers.

It was a great chance to have a chat, get to know the teachers and hear a little about what the children will be getting up to this year.

Thank you to all the parents who took the time to come along. We look forward to working together throughout the year to support our children.
