We held our end of year concert on Thursday 16th of June. The children put in a fantastic effort all year to prepare themselves and gave brilliant performances on the day. The whole school would like to thank Lisa for her expertise and time in preparing the children for the concert. It was also great to see such a great number of the children’s family members be able to attend.
School Communion:
The communion was held on Saturday May 14th. Eight children received the sacrament. I would like to thank Mr. Murphy and Helen O’Leary for their hard work in preparing the children so well. The parent’s association also kindly arranged a gift bag for each child, which they collected outside the church.
I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and co-operation since I have started working in the school. I hope that you all have a very enjoyable summer and I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 30th August.
