Halloween 2017
Today we had our Halloween dress up day and disco and everywhere you looked there was witches, skeletons, zombies and ghouls!
We hope you all have a lovely week off and that everyone comes back in safe and sound after the break.
Here’s a few photos of our pupils dressed up today!

Amazing work done on the school garden!!
On Friday the 10th of March volunteers from Amdocs Software Systems came in to our school to revamp our school garden.
They cleared weeds, cleaned out the pond, varnished the benches and planted lovely new flowers for us to enjoy. They did absolutely trojan work!!
This was all organised by Volunteer Ireland and we are extremely grateful for their support.
Take a look for yourself…
Walk on Wednesday!!
On Wednesday the 15th of February both staff and students took part in our first Walk on Wednesday. This was organised by the Ms. Mahon and her very hard working Green School Committee.
As you can see from the pictures we had two empty car parks and it was great to see the whole school take part on the day.
Well done to Ms. Mahon and her Green School Committee for all the work they put into organising the day.

On Friday the 3rd and Monday the 6th two teams of boys and girls from 5th and 6th Class went down to St. Catherine’s to take part in the annual soccer blitz organised by An Garda Síochána.
All teams played very well and represented the school with a fantastic attitude and showed great sportsmanship.
Well done to everyone involved!
