Last Wednesday we were delighted to have a group of parents come in to learn the basics of flower arranging and designing Christmas wreaths. Places were limited to first come first served and we were delighted it filled up in no time. Everyone had a great time designing their own wreaths and flower displays as well as getting to know other parents. It was hard to pick a winner on the day, as all the creations were wonderfully designed but I think everyone agreed that Paddy Kinsella’s was by far the best!!!! Thanks to the following parents for getting involved; Melanie McDonald, Fiona Clucas,...

Last Wednesday, after the student-teacher soccer match, we said goodbye for now to our 6th class. Their teachers, Ms Whyte and Mr Staunton, spoke really highly of the boys and staff and parents were on hand to wish them all the best for the future. We were delighted to have Ms Hyland and Ms Whyte back from their maternity leave for the ceremony! Mr Staunton prepared a rap about the phases of the moon with the boys and they performed it brilliantly. Members of the staff were still humming it at breakfast the next morning so we’re really impressed that 6th managed to keep it as a surprise!...
