Congratulations and our best wishes to James, Clint, Adam, Ciara, Alex and Rachel on their Confirmation Day.

They are using computer coding to programme 'Microbits'. Book Fair Thank you for your support of this year's Book Fair. A total of €350 was raised for books for school. We thank Mrs Geraghty and 6th Class for their help in organising this. Condolences We extend our sincere sympathy to the family of Josephine Murphy Devaney. Miss Murphy (as she was known to pupils) had worked in school in various capacities in years past, as a teacher and when undertaking teaching practice.  We would like to say an ENORMOUS THANK YOU to everyone who supported our fundraising 'Coffee Morning and Cake Sale' - by baking for us, calling in for tea or buying some of our cakes and bakes.
Our final total is a fantastic €1450 - all of which will go towards improving the play facilities in our school grounds. Thank you also to all those parents, staff and friends who helped organise and run this event. Your help is much appreciated. |
