The children in all classes have made a great start to the new school year. Attendance levels are very high and the children are applying themselves very well to their school work. We have fantastic children in Rathfeigh NS and we wish them a happy, safe and productive school year. If you have any concerns about your child’s education please contact the school to make an appointment with the class teacher.
