FREE NEW YEAR CAMP FOR ALL! 🎉🎞💫🌟💥
Happy, Happy 2021 to you all!

After hearing about another lockdown, The STARCAMP team got together and we have decided to KICK START 2021 in the most positive way that we could by rolling out our fantastically fun, uplifting, unique Online Camp for every single child in Ireland for FREE, simply to give back to the world in a time of need.

The intention was to sell the experience to children for the mid term, but we strongly feel that every child in Ireland deserves a feel good start to a brand new year… And every parent deserves to get something for FREE after the year they’ve had! (They’ve also earned some quiet time!)

Having cost thousands to create, produce and record, Aideen and her team spent weeks (months) preparing, writing, making, editing these 5 x 90 minute programs for children.

Contributors include Keith Barry (showing us magic tricks) and Don Conroy (giving drawing lessons) along with lots of the usual STARCAMP team teaching everything from science experiments, baking, games & jokes to music, dance & drama!

The Online Camp (which can be watched over 5 days or all at once) can be availed of completely free of charge by signing up to it from NOW at www.starcamp.ie Simply go to ‘Virtual Camp – Jan 21’ at the top of the page, fill in your details and a link will then be emailed back to you which you can log into from Monday morning!

We hope that your child will get to enjoy what has been created for the sole purpose of making children smile and feel good!

Wishing you all that you dream of for yourselves and more for 2021! (PS DREAM BIG ⭐️)…

❤️ From all at STARCAMP HQ

Please feel free to tag and share with those who you think might like some STARCAMP Happiness and Magic ✨✨✨ (suitable for kids from 4 to 12).

Many thanks to all who donated generously to our Christmas jumper dress-up day. 332 euro was divided equally between Crumlin Hospital and Down Syndrome Tipperary.

Merry Christmas to everyone from all in St Joseph’s School.

In St Joseph’s School, we will be holding our Christmas jumper fundraiser on Friday 18th of December. We are raising money for The Children’s Hospital in Crumlin and for Down Syndrome Ireland.

Pupils and staff are welcome to wear a Christmas jumper if they have one. They may also wear any festive accessories such as a Santa hat, Christmas hair-band/ earrings, etc.

We realise that it might be difficult to source Christmas jumpers at the moment so parents could add even some tinsel to their daughter’s favourite jumper.

Please donate to two very worthy causes.

 

Free Wellbeing class for parents in Tipperary starting in January. Come join other parents in the town with this enjoyable mixture of Fitness, Walking, Yoga, Chi Gong, Mindfulness & Meditation and Self-care. It promises to be some well earned “Me time” after the Christmas Rush.

Contact our Liaison Teacher Annette on 087 3608914 to book. Places limited and socially distanced. This class will be held in a venue downtown to be confirmed.
