Pupils are supervised in the school playground by a member of staff. The teacher on playground supervision is responsible for treating or looking after any pupil who is injured during recreational break. If an injury is in any way serious or if a number of incidents happen simultaneously, other members of staff are called upon to assist.
Parents or guardians are summoned if possible where an injury is more that just superficial and arrangements are made to have a child either brought home or to a doctor.
A First Aid Kit with basic medical equipment is available in the school.
However, no attempt to provide anything other that basic medical attention will be made, as this is the role of those in the medical profession.

Religious Education
As a Catholic School we follow the Grow in Love Religious programme. In preparing the pupils for the Sacraments, we as a staff work with the priests of the parish and the parents/guardians to help pupils become full members of the Christian Community. Prayers and religious instruction are part of the everyday life of the school.
Needy Causes
At various times during the school year the pupil’s support charitable causes such as St. Vincent’s de Paul Christmas Toy Appeal and the Concern Christmas Fast. This helps in the development of social conscience.
School Meetings
- Staff Meetings
Staff meetings are usually held in the early part (i.e. the first month) of each term.
- Parent Teacher Meetings
There is a formal Parent – Teacher meeting held once every school year. This is usually held in the first term.
Parents are encouraged to inform the school if they have particular concerns or if their child is experiencing difficulties during the year. To arrange a meeting with the class teacher/Principal teacher, parents are asked to make a request by calling to the school or by phone or letter. The teacher will then contact the parents to arrange a mutually suitable time. It is standard procedure for the teacher to be accompanied by the Principal or another teacher.
Class Dojo
Scoil Cholmcille, Mount Hanover uses ClassDojo to create a secure communication platform that teachers, students and families can use every day to build close-knit communities by sharing what’s being learned in the classroom and home through photos, videos, and messages. It has a reward component and a communication system.
Connecting with your child’s teacher on ClassDojo will allow you to do the following:
- Review the last two weeks of points your child received
- Safely message with your child’s teacher
- View, like, and comment on the pictures and/or videos that your child’s teacher posts to Class Story
- View, like, and comment on the pictures, videos, text entries, and/or drawings that your child or child’s teacher post to your child’s Portfolio
- View whole-school news posted to School Story
- Class Dojo is only available to parents and children registered at the school.
- Parents are reminded that they should not take images from Class Dojo and post them elsewhere online.
- The messaging system can be used to keep in contact with your child’s teacher about learning and any ClassDojo related topics.
- Parents can message teachers, however a response will only be given during school hours, Monday-Friday, as the rest of the time teachers are set on ‘quiet hours’.
