I am delighted to welcome you to the website of Carlow Educate Together National School. Since opening in 2008, the school has grown to become one of the most innovative schools in the country. We are well known for our friendly welcome and we’d love to meet you should you want to come and visit. You can always send me an email at simon@carloweducatetogether.ie and I’ll be happy to chat.
In September, Let's Find Out came to our school and filmed lots of content for their science show. Children from our school feature in a couple of the episodes across the series.
Finally we can announce that the new season of our RTEjr show Let's Find Out: Protecting Planet Earth! will start broadcasting weekdays on RTEjr on Monday from May 13th. Plus all episodes will be available to stream on RTE Player, also from May 13th.
But before that, to mark World Earth Day, two episodes will be released on RTEjr's You Tube channel this Monday April 22nd!
The episodes are:
For The Birds featuring children from Carlow Educate Together and the search for baby Barn Owls thanks to Bird Watch Ireland.
and
Plastic featuring children from CBS Tralee.

Behaviour Policy review
On Thursday the 18th of April at 9:30am we will hold a meeting for parents and guardians about our Behaviour Policy. We are in the process of reviewing the policy at the moment and are eager to include parent contributions to this process. We welcome all to come, have a cup of tea, and have a discussion on where we are right now in terms of behaviour and what we want for our school in terms of policy. An online meeting will be held that evening at 7pm for those who can't make the morning session. This is the same day as our Bookfair, so hopefully the time will suit you. Looking forward to seeing you then.

Eimear and Carolines class had a lovely time in the Visual today. They learned lots about the process of creating sculptures. The drew with charcoal and then made some abstract sculptures of their own. They really enjoyed it.

Mark's class used some of the eggs that were laid by our school chickens during the week to make some french toast today. The kids did a great job cracking, mixing, dipping and cooking and covered their toast in a variety of toppings. We should have a steady supply of eggs for the next few months so we can learn how to cook them in a few different ways. Thanks to Susanne and to Bartosz and Danny who have taken on the majority of the responsibility for looking after the chickens for our class.

Thanks to everyone for the great turnout for #wearredday2024. All across the school we had a sea of red. Our children learn about being kind, fair and equal at a level that is appropriate to their age. Thanks to all the parents, children and staff for the big effort made today. #showracismtheredcard

A fantastic day of Athletics today. It was a relay event for 5th and 6th class in SETU and we submitted 8 teams in total.
Our athletes performed brilliantly with 6 teams making the semi-finals, 2 teams went on make the finals, our 6th Class boys and girls.
Our 6th Class girls narrowly missed out on medals in the final and our 6th Class boys were placed 3rd overall.
A wonderful display of teamwork from our athletes, you should all be proud! Well done!
