The Junior end of the school will see the performance at 0930 with a workshop thereafter and the senior end of the school performance will start at 1-10, again with a follow-up workshop.

The show costs €2 per child. Please give the money to your class teacher.

Three students from fourth class took it upon themselves to raise money for the school. They know we need new yard equipment and books for our library so they decided to do something about this. Just before Easter Julia , Nancy  and Mary from Ms Doyle's 4th class decided to run their own art competition to raise much needed funds for the school. They opened the competition to all students from 1st up to 6th class. The prizes were gel pens, homework passes and a few goodies. After all their hard work they raised €50 for school funds!! A big thank you to these three girls for their wonderful efforts and a big congratulations to all the children who took part in the competition. Well done everybody!! 

Ms Brennan's 4th Class entered an Art Competition for the Festival of Russian Culture Dublin. The children created an art piece based on the fairytale 'The Goldfish'.
