A little reminder as the festival season is over & the new school year begins… 📚❤️

With the darker evenings returning, we want children and families across our communities to know that there will always be a safe place nearby.

If a child is waiting for a lift, needs to contact a parent or simply needs somewhere safe to wait, our teams at Arthurs SuperValu Carlow and Stradbally are here to help.

Because looking after our community means looking out for one another. ❤️

Our 6th Class pupils have received their brand-new school hoodies, and they’re delighted with them!

It’s great to see them all together as they begin their final year in St. Colman’s. We’re looking forward to a fantastic year ahead with 6th Class and all that the year will bring.

Looking good, 6th Class!

Here is our new Junior Infant group with Ms Kelly and Ms Bennett. What a wonderful start!
