Easter Egg Raffle

Congratulations and well done to the entire class!!

We ran the school's Easter Egg Raffle this year in aid of Marymount Hospice. We managed to raise in excess of €1000.

This will go towards our gardening project in Marymount Hospice later in the year.

A huge thank you to all who participated and to the children for their great work!

Celebrating Ireland

Today was, without a doubt, a day to remember!

The day began with our class, and the other senior classes, reading out our Proclamations for Ireland's future. We raised our National Flag and sang Amhrán na bhFiann.
The halla was a hive of activity. We were treated to a fantastic performance by our Banna Ceol. This was followed by a recitation of 'The Mother' by Pádraig Pearse and performances of 'Óró sé do bheatha 'bhaile', the ballad 'Grace' and 'An Maidrín Rua'.
The day came to an end with a school céilí, certainly our best yet!
It was a wonderful day that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Maith sibh a pháistí!

Bit of Gardening

We braved the freezing cold this morning to help Pat with a bit of gardening!
Earth is turned and the rocks are gone. Next step is to plant something there! Although we won't be in the prefabs for too much longer to watch them grow!!
