Scoil bhlian 2025/26
The waiting list for the 2026/27 school year is now closed. Please see the waiting list page for further information.
The waiting list for the 2026/27 school year opened on 1st November and is now closed. Siblings of children currently attending the service will get preference.
We have a full-time waiting list (5 afternoons) and a part-time waiting list(2 or 3 afternoons). Once offered, a full-time place cannot be reduced nor a part-time place increased. If a parent wishes to change their child's attendance, they must go on the other waiting list and wait for a place to become available. Part-time places are offered opposite each other so parents may express preferred days but Explorers may not be able to accomodate these days.
Explorers Afterschool GSR will reopen in line with the school calendar.
We will be operating within the Government's guidelines and in tandem with school requirements.
Beidh Cúram Iarscoile Explorers GSR ar oscailt ar na laethanta céanna is an scoil.
Béimíd ag oparáid laistigh de na threoirlínte agus ag comhoíbriú leis na scoileanna.
Afterschool Activities run by the school
We are not in a position to collect children from afterschool activities run by the school. The afterschool teachers usually facilitate bringing the children to our room. This needs to be arranged and agreed between parents and activity teachers.
Explorers’ must be notified by parents/guardians of their child’s activity dates, days, and time we will expect the children to return to our room.

We offer afterschool care to the children from GSR from 13.10 - 18.10 every day during the school year, and full time camps during 3 weeks holidays (Dates on the Camps page)
