Rianna Returns for Aviva Soccer Sisters Launch!

    

Past pupil and Republic of ireland Soccer international Rianna Jarrett returned to the Faythe on Monday 7th October to launch the Aviav Soccer Sisters Halloween Programme for 7 - 12 year olds. has been one of the driving forces behind the increase in numbers in participation of grassroots soccer in girls over the past 5 years. As part of the "Introduction to Football" banner, the aim of Soccer Sisters is to increase the number of children playing soccer and utilising facilities countrywide while attracting new volunteers into soccer, i.e. parents and guardians who it is then hoped may get involved in the game in some capacity.

Rianna proved a big hit with Ms. MacFadden's 5th & 6th Class as can be seen from the video below.

Future of the School

    

From September 2014, boys enrolling in the St. John of God Primary School will be able to complete their education, from Junior Infants through to 6th Class, in this school. 

The outmoded process by which boys had to leave the Faythe School at the end of 3rd Class will now cease and boys enrolled here as Infants will be able to complete their primary education in a co-educational setting that reflects society.

The BOM acknowledge the role played in this monumental change by Bishop Denis Brennan and Minister Ruairi Quinn. A special word of thanks go to Minister Brendan Howlin, Cllr. George Lawlor and Fr. Jim Fegan , Adm. Wexford Parish, for 'their behind the scenes work' in helping to have this decision made before the end of the current school year.

A Common Enrolment Procedure will apply for enrolment to St. John of God Primary School, The Faythe, CBS Primary and the Mercy. Completed Application Forms for the School Year 2014 - 15 are requested to be returned to the school by 3pm Friday 1st November 2013.
