CCMS has upgraded the online recruitment system which now provides the applicants with the facility to:

Create email alerts for up and coming vacancies

Create a profile

• A profile allows applicants to populate their personal details, education and experience for each post they apply for
• Retain copies of application forms for jobs applied for, along with job specific information

Apply for a job without creating a profile

• For each post you apply for you will be provided with a pin number so that you can save for later and access your form at a later stage whilst the job is open
• Before you hit submit you should print a copy of your form as the system will no longer send you a copy

The principal, Mr Damien Eannetta, and staff of St Mary’s Primary School, Pomeroy identified a need to improve the library facilities in the school. Their aim was to continue developing reading in the school and in particular to foster in the children a love of books.

The school had two vacant mobiles on the grounds and it was decided to use these mobiles to create a Literacy Centre. The Friends of St Mary’s, worked tirelessly with the school staff and local community to raise funds for the project. Events organised by parents and Friends of the school, for example a spinathon, coffee morning, the Sea to Summit challenge and a car wash, were very well supported by the community.

Congratulations to Larissa Gaffney, Carrick Primary School, Burren who has been selected to feature in the 2019 Newry, Mourne and Down Schools' calendar.
