St. Gabriel’s World Cup

Posted on by

We are all very excited to see this fabulous football tournament return to St. Gabriel’s this year. In previous years, the boys and girls from 3rd to 6th class played on teams named after a range of countries represented in our school, battling it out for a place in the final and to be the school champion!

This year from Monday 13th to Wednesday 15th of February, the school will host group stage matches before going on to a knockout series of matches in Aughrim St. Sports Hall. In addition to this, we will have whole school singing, art competitions and intercultural project work, because we know that football is not everyone’s favourite hobby either!

Children from 3rd to 6th class should come in school tracksuits and runners on the above dates. This is another fantastic reason to come to school in February. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Fire Safety Week 2022

Posted on by

This week in St. Gabriel’s N.S. we are turning our focus to learn about fire safety. We will look at how we can be more mindful in our daily lives in order to prevent unwanted fires from beginning. We will see how we can best prepare ourselves and our families in the event of a fire. In school we will practice our fire drill and encourage each family to discuss an escape route at home.

Some things to remember are:

We’re also learning what to do if our clothes caught fire. STOP DROP ROLL

Many classes will learn about how Dublin Fire Brigade are always on call to help us. We will look at the work in which the fire brigade engage, the uniforms they wear and the equipment they need to do their jobs.

As we approach our midterm break we understand that Halloween is a time when we need to be extra mindful about fire. There may be occasions where we come across candles, fireworks and bonfires. Caution is required, especially when wearing costumes. We hope that learning about fire safety will ensure that we all keep extra safe this Halloween and in the future.
