Congratulations to Sharon Carleton and John Kennedy who were recently elected as our Parent Representatives on the incoming Scoil Ursula Board of Management. Sharon and John replace our outgoing reps, Caroline O' Hehir and Gerry Casey. We are very grateful to Caroline and Gerry for all the work they have done on our behalf since 2007. We are also grateful to Seán Feehily, who stood in for Gerry for a period while he was overseas. The new Board of Management will begin its 4-year term on December the 1st. We wish the members well in steering the school through what are likely to be difficult educational times ahead.
