Dear parents,
Yesterday, we had a visit from the Diocesan Examiners in religion. Fr Liam and Fiona visited all the classes and were very complimentary about the high standard of work in evidence. The Confirmation classes took part in a one-day Retreat last week under the guidance of Fr Chris O Donnell.
Today, Lauren O Gorman, Sixth Class, represented the school in the Eason’s Spelling Bee. Lauren won the title in this school last month.
Congratulations to Darragh O Sullivan, Lucy Keyes and Aisling Murphy who were prizewinners in the Community Games handwriting competition.
