July Provision 2017
Many of our pupils enjoyed the sunny days in our 2017 July Provision. Activities included Gymboree, Drama and visits to Bray Sealife Centre and Clonfert pet farm.
First Communion
Five pupils celebrated their First Holy Communion on 30 May 2017 in St Raphael's Church followed by tea and cake in the Green Room of Oakley Park House. The service was conducted by Brother Fintan Brennan-Whitmore and was attended by family and friends.
Drama
Pupils in St Raphael's School attend weekly drama sessions run by Aisling Byrne, Educational Drama Practitioner. The sessions in 2015-16 have been funded by a grant from Kildare County Council.
All of our pupils have the opportunity to take part in drama classes, dance and movement workshops, multi-sensory story sessions, and to take part in a performance at the end of the project. Family and friends are welcome to attend the performances. The main emphasis of the sessions is making sure each child fully benefits from and enjoys the experience of taking part.
July Provision 2016
Our pupils enjoyed a number of different actitivies at this year's school-based July Provision. There was drama with Aisling Byrne, singing and music activities from Gymboree and Musical Tots. Pupils got a chance to meet exotic animals including an owl when the Animal Roadshow came into the school. There were baking competitions and a breakfast club at Celbridge Manor Hotel. A good time was had by all!
Pottery
Each class has the opportunity to take part in pottery sessions during the school year.
