We hope you are looking forward to your child’s next milestone; starting Junior Infants in Powerstown Educate Together National School for the 2020/2021 school year.

In preparation for your child commencing school with us, we have created this web page, with excellent links and supports for you, as parents, to prepare your child for Junior Infants.
