Message for Key Worker Parents/Guardians:
If you are interested in your child attending a hub school within the Larne area please email us at info@stmacnissisps.com before 12:00 noon tomorrow (Wednesday).
Please include your name, your child’s name, and your key worker role (please note that availing of a key worker school place should be a last resort when no other option for childminding is possible).
Our school unfortunately remains closed due to the unavailability of staff and therefore the inability to guarantee the health and safety of both staff and children.
Thank you for your understanding.
Please join me in praying for both our health and our well-being.
