SCHOOL CLOSED
1st November
School is now closed on Monday 1st November. This is due to a directive from the Bishops to all schools under the patronage of the Catholic Church that we close for All Saints' Day. The school apologises for any inconvenience caused by this late change.
A Month into the School Year
All classes have settled down well to the new school year.
Fifth class visited Lissadell House and had a tour around the building as part of a History Project.
Last week Ms Coggins 6th Class did an excellent rendering of "In The Jungle" for our whole school assembly; it was accompanied by three flutes, a bongo drum and a fiddle.
