‘As I parent of a child in Primary One, I am forever grateful to Mrs Crossen for all her hard work and dedication to the pupils. She goes above and beyond for the children. The reading information session was very helpful in explaining the literacy programme. The Nativity, Mother’s Day Assembly and school shows are excellent. I often hear at home, 'Mummy I just love Mrs Crossen' and as a parent, I am delighted how well my child is treated in school. I can only hope that as our time in St. John Bosco P.S continues, that he loves it as much! Thank you very much for the settling in period review.’

'SJB is a lovely school and as a parent I am so grateful and proud that my son is part of this special and close knit community. We couldn't ask for more. Staff are so approachable. They each have such a warm and lovely manner.'

'My son started P1 in September and is absolutely thriving. He’s bursting with confidence, loves going to school, and skips in the door every morning! On the way home, he often asks, “Do we have school again tomorrow?” which really says it all about how happy he is there.

My daughter is now in P4 and has been at the school since P1. She started off quite shy and reserved, but her confidence has grown so much each year. She’s become so independent with her homework and recently joined the Eco Team, which she absolutely loves. The variety of after-school activities really gives the children so many opportunities to get involved.

The Breakfast Club is also such a great support for working families. it makes such a difference.

And finally, a special mention to her teacher. My daughter absolutely adores Miss McGurk! She says she’s the luckiest girl alive to have the same teacher two years in a row, which speaks volumes about how much she enjoys being in her class.'

'I was very encouraged to hear that after my child expressed she experiences anxiety and a tendency to fret, Mrs McGurk discreetly assured her she was always there to help and support her. This was lovely to hear as a parent but my daughter also felt very comforted by it so thank you to Mrs McGurk. 

Mr O'Boyle has made some very positive changes to the school. There are lots of new after-school activities for the children and the introduction of a Breakfast Club. He is friendly and approachable and always there in the mornings to welcome the children. I really appreciate his more flexible approach to homework which will provide relief in the evening for busy parents or some children who may struggle. Relaxing a little on what children bring in their lunch has also been a welcome change. Emphasising the importance of ensuring a child eats as opposed to only allowing the healthiest of options is incredibly understanding and much appreciated. Thank you Mr O'Boyle'

'The teachers are always caring. I like the subjects we learn about- I've loved learning how to double large numbers this term. I love coming to school everyday because I feel safe and welcome.'

This is our school

Let peace dwell here

Let it be full of contentment

Let love abide here

Love of one and other

Love of mankind

Love of life itself

And love of God

Let us remember

That as many hands build a house

Many hearts make our school.
