Welcome
Welcome to the Bray School Project Website. It is the aim of the site
to allow pupils and parents have a forum where all school related
interests can be accessed at the touch of a button. We look
forward to great 2010/2011 school year.

* ENROLMENT POLICY CHANGE **
On 23rd April 2011 the BSPA voted
unanimously to change the current enrolment policy.
* Any Child already enrolled on the
list will continue on the list under the old policy ( i.e. siblings of
current pupils will be given preference over non-siblings and they will
have the option of applying for a supernumerary place )
* From Sunday 1st May 2011
any child enrolled will be enrolled under the new policy - i.e.
preference will not be given to siblings and there will not be
the option of applying for a supernumerary place.
All applications received on or
after the 1st of May must be on the NEW application form or will
not be accepted. If you have any questions, please contact the
school.

Click on MP3 link above to hear the
interview from East Coast FM about the C.O.W.
C.O.W (cycle on Wednesdays) is a national initiative that encourages
pupils, parents and teachers to cycle to school. It's main aim is to
promote a cycling culture within the school and wider community.
Children of primary school age should always use cycle paths or cycle
on footpaths where there is no cycle path.
The Green School Committee will speak to all classes about cycle
safety. Parents and guardians are asked to ensure that their child is
safe cycling to school. Parents may wish to cycle with their child or
walk along with them.
A bicycle maintenance session will be held in the school prior to 2nd
February (date to be confirmed with Everest Cycles, please check
homework notebooks).
Thank you to all families who have supported the W.O.W initiative, and
if cycling isn't practical, please continue to walk.
And remember......
Be safe, be seen
.

Green School Newsletter
At Bray School Project we have been
working very hard to achieve "Green School" status. In 2009 we received
our third green flag under the theme water conservation. This follows
our two previous flags awarded for energy conservation and waste
management.
This year we are hoping to receive
our fourth green flag. The topic we have been working on for since
September 2009 is Travel. With the help of pupils, parents, guardians
and teachers, we have been trying our best to travel to and from school
in more environmentally friendly way!
W.O.W days have proved a great success, with everyone walking, parking
and striding, cycling, taking the bus and car-pooling.
Our "Golden Boot" is awarded each week to the class that has the most
participants, and results are recorded on the Green School notice board.
This term, to celebrate the beginning of Spring and the welcome return
of brighter mornings, the Green School Committee will be launching
C.O.W days. Our launch will be Wednesday February 2nd 2011.
