Bit of a monday morning surprise. Doing my normal school drop just before 9am, swung onto the Golf club road - there it was - squad car, lights-a-flashing.

Is this a first? If it was a traffic calming measure, then fair enough. But I did see licence documents being examined.

This seems pretty heavy handed…

The Scoil Asicus Parents Association has recently elected a new committee. At the AGM held last November, chairperson James Given, secretary Linda Burke and treasurer Linda Keane were appointed. Vice-chair Kevin Peyton, vice-secretary Deb Kilgallon and vice-treasurer Sandra Hufsky were also elected.

The new board wishes to follow up the good work and fundraising activities that have taken place over the past number of years. In the lead up to Christmas, they produced a very attractive colour calendar for 2007, comprising artwork from students as well as scenic shots of the local area.

A small number of these calendars ate still available for purchase. Association members will be looking for your support over the coming week as they sell these door-to-door in the locality.

Some of the activities planned over the coming months include assisting school staff with the purchase of new computer equipment, a road safety campaign, further development of the school website as well as ongoing fund-raising.

A public meeting is planned for the latter part of February, and the attendance and input of parents would be much appreciated. More details will be published closer to the date.
