Dear parents,
Congratulations to Áine O'Brien, Sixth Class, whose entry in the 'Someone like Me' Art Competition was awarded second place in the national category. 'Someone Like Me' focussed on the theme of disability. This is a great achievement. Mr Barry, Áine's teacher, travelled to Dublin on Tuesday for the prizegiving in the City Hall. Áine was interviewed on RTE 2 television on Tuesday afternoon.
West Midlands Theatre from Wolverhampton visited the school today to stage a performance of 'Aladdin' for children from First to Fourth class.

CONGRATULATIONS, we are delighted to award your school with the Active School Flag.'
I would like to thank Mrs Walsh for all her hard work coordinating the renewal of our Active Flag.
