What a super morning with an in-school performance from West Midland Children’s Theatre Group! Their representation of ‘The Bluebird’ was thoroughly enjoyed by all children from junior infants to sixth class.

There was such excitement today when our junior and senior infants embarked on a trip to the duck pond in Arklow. There they observed native wildlife including a swan and her cygnets! They really enjoyed the fairy door trail too! To end the trip the children played in the playground and had a picnic. They got a huge surprise when Ms. Russell arrived with ice pops. We hope that they have lovely memories from today! Well done to all on super behaviour!

Many thanks to Graeme and Robyn’s dad Shane Prendergast,who has been teaching circuits to our students. It is great to see them being so active! Thanks to Shane for his wonderful generosity.

Massive congratulations to our Mini 7s boys’ team who represented us so well in the Wexford match on Sunday. Many thanks to Mr. Breen and Michael Kavanagh who attended and looked after the boys. I am sure that this will be a memory to last a lifetime!

Thank you to Ms. Gilmartin Ryan for sharing her vast knowledge of Liam Mellows with a captive 6th class audience. It was a most interesting lesson for them.
