The Department of Education introduced the Primary Schoolbooks Scheme in 2023.
The scheme is a welcome initiative and removes the cost from families of buying schoolbooks, workbooks and copybooks for their children in primary school.

Please note the following important points.
Schoolbooks, workbooks and copybooks will be provided free to every child at the start of the school year.
All schoolbooks remain the property of our school and are on loan to children.
Children will be allowed to bring schoolbooks home in order to complete homework and to allow parents to stay connected with their child’s learning in school.
It is very important that children and their parents ensure that schoolbooks are taken care of and kept in good condition so they can be used again by another child.
The schoolbooks must be returned at the end of the school year, or if the child leaves the school.
