Breakfast Connection at St Ultans – You are Welcome

You will find something happening most mornings for, with and by Parents/Family members here in St Ultans. On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings there is BREAKFAST!! Simply breakfast to take a half hour out of busy lives to sit, have a cuppa and slice of toast or maybe a grilled sausage some days.

Tuesday mornings is called the ‘INBETWEENERS’ and Wednesdays is called ‘I CAN’

There is no commitment other than to take care of yourself and give yourself this bit of time. There are a variety of programmes organised however these are not imposed. You can still call for a cuppa and leave or stay, it is totally up to you. Call in and see if it is something you would like!

St. Ultan’s Primary School is part of a wider innovative, integrated Education and Care service for the community of Cherry Orchard called Saint Ultans.

Our partnership with our parents and families, along with all our colleagues in the Nursery, Early Ed., Care Unit and the wider community of Cherry Orchard is of primary importance to us as we endeavour to provide opportunities, learning experiences and supports that will enable every child reach his/her full potential

Our SUCCESS

St. Ultan’s orchestra was set up in 2009. They have made us so proud on numerous occasions, performing in really prestigious places such as the National Concert Hall and St. Patrick’s Cathedral! The children have enjoyed their recent appearance on national television as part of the four part documentary ‘Music Saves Lives’. Some of the children have also had the great experience of recording a performance in Kylemore College studios.

The children have upped the ante to include lunch time-practices, after school rehearsals and local performances.

We have expanded our orchestra and some children have graduated from our junior to senior orchestra. Parents are now getting involved and learning both violin and cello. This year we are delighted to introduce double bass, viola, classical guitars and percussion.

We are ever impressed with the children’s dedication and enthusiasm to music.
