​Dúnfar an scoil don Nollaig ón Aoine 20/12/2019 agus beidh an scoil á athoscailt ar an Luan an 06/01/2020. 
 
The school will close on Friday, 20th December at 12.00 noon and will re-open on Monday, 6th January 2020.  To ease traffic congestion, Junior Infants and Senior Infants will finish at 11.45am on Friday the 20th December. Children are not required to wear school uniform on this day.

​Beidh fáilte roimh na daltaí geansaí Nollag a chaitheamh nó hata Nollag a chaitheamh ar an Luan an 16ú lá de mhí na Nollag. Ní bheimis ag súil go gceannódh tuismitheoirí aon rud nua chuige seo.  Bheimis buíoch dá bhféadfadh gach páiste €2 a thabhairt isteach. Rachaidh an t-airgead seo chuig Aid Bandon Children (ABC)
 
Children are invited to wear a Christmas Jumper/Christmas Hat on Monday, 16th December. We do not want people buying clothes especially - anything with a Christmas theme is suitable.
We would ask that a donation of €2 per child be given towards Aid Bandon Children (ABC), a worthy charity that support families in our local community.  

​Ba mhaith le Gaelscoil Dhroichead na Banndan tacaíocht do carthanacht Naomh Uinsean de Pól. Tá gear gá le nearraí – neamhmheatacha. Ba bhreá linn dá dtabharfadh gach páiste rud amháin isteach. Beidh bosca faoi gcrann Nollag ón 2ú lá go dtí an 13ú de mhí na Nollag.
 
Gaelscoil Dhroichead na Banndan would like to support our local branch of St Vincent De Paul again this Christmas. Essential items needed are non-perishable foods, such as canned goods and basic household supplies e.g tea, coffee, sugar, beans, peas, pasta, soups, sauces, etc. We would like if each child could bring in one item for this worthy charity.  A box will be placed under the Christmas Tree in the school from December 2nd - December 13th.
