GNS Book Scheme 

From 2022/2023 the school will be operating a new book scheme for Junior Infants, Senior Infants, 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th and 6^th class.

The old book rental scheme from 3^rd to 6^th which cost €30 for the books alone will be replaced by this scheme. It is only because of the great work from our Parent Association over the last number of years that we are in a position to offer this new scheme, as we have built up a great reserve of textbooks.  

Instead of making individual, varying prices for individual classes I have kept the one price for all based on averages.  

You will be given the opportunity to subscribe to the scheme and pay through Aladdin for  

Junior & Senior Infants: €50 to cover the cost of all books, copies, folders and stationery for school per child.  

1^st & 2^nd class: €50 to cover the cost of all books, workbooks, copies and folder per child.

5^th & 6^th class: €50 to cover the cost of all books, workbooks (incl. Spellings for Me €9.50 subscription) and copies per child.

Each child should have a pencil case consisting of two rulers (one short ruler 15cm and one long ruler 30cm), pencil (HB), topper, rubber, colours (not markers), a whiteboard marker, glue stick and scissors.
