Due to restrictions pertaining to the Covid-19 (Coronavirus), the school is putting a facility in place to allow parents to make payments to the school online. To this end, we are asking parents to log on with their email address to the portal we are using (Databiz Solutions) by following the directions here.
The school has a phone number registered with each family but will require an email also. Please use a current and up to date email. If you have changed your phone number please email the school with your new number and we will update our system before you can complete the registering process.
If you have any queries, please email runaigspb@gmail.com.

Following the enacting of new legislation all schools are required to amend their admission policies. Gaelscoil Philib Barún has drafted a new policy to be in effect for 2021 which complies with new guidelines outlined by the legislation and will submit its policy for approval to its patron. The draft can be found here for parents who want to view it.

A personal welcome message from Daithí de Paor.
Congratulations again on your home schooling work posted on the Padlet pages with your teachers. Please check in daily rather like coming to school. If for any reason you can’t do the work, message your teacher on Padlet or through the email address on the page. Using the email is a more private way to communicate.

6th class have been working at home on their art project making lamps. They were it on the night of Tuesday, 1 April 2020, in support of all the medical staff working selflessly caring for those affected by the Covid-19 virus. Thinking of them.

Teachers are putting up lessons and recommended activities for pupils each day using the Padlet software on our new Collaboration page. We hope to update these daily. There have been difficulties with the amount of traffic on this service. We are aware that some pupils were not able to bring home their textbooks and we will arrange to have the relevant textbook pages up on the each class’s site.
Pupils should work through the work as best they can. On some of the class pages the teachers will be able, in a limited fashion, to interact with pupils and answer questions. This may not always be possible but if someone is in difficulty we recommend they move on to the next task. If for any reason a pupil is not able to work any day please be aware that all work is undertaken at the discretion of the parent or guardian.
As this is online work we ask that pupils are supervised while online and that their engagement with sites recommended and videos suggested by the teachers is monitored. There are plenty of tips on online safety on webwise.ie. This is a new experience for us all and we hope to learn from it and get better at doing it. Thank you for you patience. Stay safe and self isolated!

As part of the school’s efforts to minimise the impact of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak, which led to the school being closed from Friday, 13 March 2020 to Monday, 30 March 2020, the teachers have collaborated to provide some virtual learning aids.
These will be used in the coming weeks to provide some limited work for students during the school days that the school is closed. The work has been deemed reasonable, while limited in nature and scope, and we hope it will serve as a helpful and reassuring resource for pupils and parents alike.
