Limerick School Project

Winter Fair 2026

Our Winter Fair is one of the highlights of the LSP year and, importantly, it is also our biggest fundraiser of the year. The money raised makes a real difference to our school and helps us provide additional resources, activities and opportunities for all of our children such as Drumming, trip to Ardnacrusha, 6th Class Cinema Trip, Basketball Nets on the yard, Buladh Bos Festival and Sensory boxes in every classroom, to name but a few.

But the Winter Fair doesn’t happen by itself!

This year, we are looking for a group of parents/guardians to join our Winter Fair Committee and help organise and coordinate the event. You don’t need any particular experience, and you certainly won’t be expected to do everything! We need people with different skills and ideas who are willing to work together to make the day happen.

There are lots of ways to help — organising stalls, contacting local businesses, coordinating donations and prizes, helping with decorations, food, entertainment, volunteers, promotion and all the other little things that come together to make the Winter Fair so special.



We really do need a committee in order for the Fair to go ahead. Without a group of parents willing to take the lead in organising it, unfortunately we simply won’t be able to host a Winter Fair this year.



If you would be willing to join the Winter Fair Committee, please contact Pamela/the school office by SEPTEMBER 30th

Please consider getting involved and helping us make Winter Fair 2026 another fantastic LSP community event!

Thank you, as always, for your support.

AIt has been another lovely, busy week here at LSP. Our classrooms are full of learning, creativity and
activity, and it is wonderful to see the children settling into their routines, making new friendships
and approaching each day with enthusiasm.

There is a lovely sense of happiness and purpose around the school, with children working together, trying new things and enjoying the many opportunities that school life brings.

Thank you to our staff for the care and energy they bring to their classrooms each day, and to our
families for your continued support.

We look forward to another happy and productive week ahead.

Have a lovely summer, full of joy and laughter.

Our school basketball teams had a fantastic day at the Basketball Blitz in the Salesians yesterday, taking on teams from Scoil Íde and Scoil Máthair Dé.
There were excellent games throughout the day, with great teamwork, skill and sportsmanship on display from all involved.

Most importantly, everyone had lots of fun and represented the school brilliantly. A special thank you to Tony for organising the blitz and for kindly funding the referees. And to Bríd and Robin for preparing the kids for the event.

A great day of basketball for all!

We had a fantastic day in UL yesterday, at the LSP athletics event, where 40 pupils proudly represented our school. From the 80m sprints right through to the exciting 400m relays, every child gave their all and did the school proud.

Despite the mixed weather throughout the day, the children’s energy and enthusiasm never faded.
They showed great determination, teamwork and sportsmanship in every event and were a credit to both the school and their families.

The girls’ competition was incredibly close and came right down to the final race, making for a very exciting finish.
The boys also performed brilliantly throughout the day and were delighted to come away as winners of their category! Trophy is tow.

A huge thank you to the UL students who helped out on the day. They were fantastic with the children, offering constant encouragement and support throughout all the events.

It was a brilliant day all around and one that our pupils will remember for a long time.

A sincere thank you to Bríd and Lise, along with Michael, Grace, Sarah, Maria, Rachel and Lucy for all their work preparing the children and supporting them on the day.

Your time, encouragement and dedication are greatly appreciated.

Well done everyone!

Over the coming weeks, pupils from
1st–6th Class will begin standardised
testing. We encourage all children to
simply do their best and to approach
the tests calmly and confidently.
These assessments are just one small
snapshot of learning and help us to
support children in their educational
journey.

We are looking forward to our
annual Plant & Cake Sale taking place
this Friday. A huge thank you to
Sylvia for once again donating plants
for the sale and to our senior pupils
for all their baking efforts. We hope
to see many families there supporting
this lovely school tradition.

Thank you, as always, to our parents
and wider school community for your
continued support. It is greatly
appreciated and plays such an
important role in the vibrant, caring
atmosphere of LSP.
