Ms Teehan
As you are all aware, Ms Teehan is retiring at the end of August.
For the past 37 years UNS has been blessed with her powerful, yet gentle presence on its staff.
Throughout those years she has worked tirelessly to affirm, support and encourage all her students to achieve their full potential. She was fully committed to promoting excellence, always leading by example.
During her long and distinguished career she has had responsibility for our beautiful school choir. Church ceremonies and other celebrations have been greatly enhanced by the sweet singing of the pupils under her direction.
She taught her pupils the importance of not wasting the earth’s scarce resources and encouraged children to be environmentally friendly long before there was any mention of the Green Schools Programme. It was no surprise therefore that UNS was one of the first schools in the area to fly a Green Flag under her passionate leadership, and to date we have been awarded six Green Flags. She can be confident that the Green Schools Programme will continue in the capable hands of the Green Schools Committee.
We know it is a source of great pride and joy to her that she taught many of the parents of pupils currently in our school. (Not alone did she teach them, but she remembers every one of them!) She is always eager to hear how her past pupils are getting on, is delighted with any good news about them, and even happier when she meets them in person.
As Deputy Principal, she fulfilled all the duties of this post to a very high standard.
As well as being a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher, she was a wonderful colleague and friend, who will be greatly missed.
Táimid ag súil go mbeidh saol fada, sona, sláintiúil aici agus guímid gach aon rath uirthi.
We wish her a long, happy and healthy retirement and thank her sincerely for her excellent service during her time in UNS.
With love and best wishes from your colleagues and friends in Scoil an Chroí Ró-Naofa

Dear Parents,
One week down of our COVID 19 Closure and I'm sure like many of us you are doing the best you can with the social distancing and keeping busy at home. One thing we want more than anything else is that people do not feel extra stress from the school at a time that is stressful enough for families. I came across a post from another school principal which I feel is worth sharing with you because it reflects alot of thoughts that I have had regarding what is expected of us as schools and us as parents at this time. For primary school children, this unusual closure is, over the course of fourteen years education, a blip! For Leaving Certs, final year college students, it is a more stressful time, but our children are in Primary school and we need to keep that in perspective. We will keep informing you of resources and interesting things you can do at home, but they are suggestions and help. Do what you can and what suits. Have a read of this post and hopefully it will help! Stay safe all!
Dermot Dunphy, Principal
The Health Promoting School Committee have been working on a huge poster for the HPS Noticeboard. Every child in the school designed their own avatar to represent themselves and each and every one is contained on the poster. The title of the poster is "In this school we all stick together" as the HPS works on inclusivity in our school. Well done to the HPS Committee on producing a beautiful piece. When you are in the school, make sure to check out the original!
