Today students and staff from the school received a kind donation of a number of refurbished laptops from WorkDay, through our partnership with Engagement and Outreach in Technological University Dublin, Grangegorman.
The devices will be a great addition to our school and a great resource for pupils to use in class.
A huge thanks to Riona in Technological University Dublin and to the staff in Workday.
All the children in St. Gabriel’s enjoyed a wonderful day of shared reading, book trails and many other activities to celebrate World Book Day 2024!

There was huge excitement as Santa paid a surprise visit to the children in school today!
We will all be learning about fire safety this week in St. Gabriel’s N.S. We hope to make sure that we all know how to be careful around fire and that we know what to do if there ever was a fire in school or at home. We’ll do this by practising our fire drill in school and we hope you will chat about what to do in the case of a fire at home.
We will remind ourselves and practice what to do if our clothes or Halloween costumes catch fire. STOP DROP ROLL!
Many classes will learn how Dublin Fire Brigade are always there to help us. We will look at the work they do, the uniforms they wear and the equipment they need to do their jobs. This year children can help spread awareness of fire safety by entering Dublin Fire Brigade’s monthly colouring / drawing competition.
