Welcome Pack

Welcome Pack

Starting your journey at Waterford Educate Together National School (WETNS) is an exciting time for every child and family. To help you feel informed, confident, and fully prepared, we’ve created a comprehensive Welcome Pack that introduces you to all the key aspects of school life.


This pack outlines everything you need to know—from daily routines and communication methods to important school policies and helpful guidance for new families. We encourage all parents and guardians to read through it carefully before the school year begins.

Even if you’re already part of our school community, the Welcome Pack is a great reference point to revisit throughout the year for updates, reminders, and general information.
