Good news.
When dust settles call the school and ask to put some of her mates in same class. We didnāt do it on older lad. We learned the lesson on younger lad. It makes a difference.

I was ok about it. Know a few people who know about that stuff and thought weād be in but mrs J and all her mates were worried. All waiting on offers from schools at various places on diifferent waiting lists. We went out to support the local economy in celebration last n8ght and had the midweek steak special offer. A lovely evening all told.

One is 65 for the local school and another 55, very harsh on the kids that dont get in

creagh or GCS?
Sin ĆØ. Weāre outside catchment for both PCS and MCS despite being within about a kilometre and a half and theyāre both way oversubscribed. Id be confident its a very good school and will be a good fit for her. And a bus goes past our gaff!

You cant beat being very close mate. Iād the little lady down for the gaelscoil for primary but had to drop her out to a different national school cos i couldnt do the drops while haring round the country in the berlingo. Her creche would drop to the 2 english speaking schools(they are closer). I tegret it a bit cos i love irish but Mama J advised me that the locality would be massive for us. She sent 5 of us to a faraway gaelscoil and the runt of the litter went to the local school. She was right.

Itās actually impressively ran. Live stream so relatives in Oz could even watch! Ref also stopped the game to tell crowd to stop booing free throws and also shut down any trash talking.
Impressive
