All pupils are busy at school at the moment and many have been enjoying swimming lessons, football, Science Day, GAA coaching and outings over the past few weeks. We wish to congratulate our school Debating team who recently qualified for Round Two of the Concern Debating Championship, and wish those who are participating in the Irish poetry competition in Downings this Saturday all the best. Please note a change of venue in that the event will be held in the GAA Centre with a 10am start. Our Cumann na mBunscol quiz team were placed third in the recent County Final and have qualified for the Ulster final.

I wish to thank the Parents’ Association for the huge work and input into ensuring the huge success of the recent Christmas Fair. All monies raised will be invested in pupil resources.

We have scheduled our Christmas Shows/Music for the morning of Wednesday 18 December. Tea and biscuits will be available for all. We will inform you of class performance times closer to the day. We will also host a draw for a Christmas Hamper on the day. Santa Claus hopes to call in to see us all on Thursday 19 December.

We will close for the Christmas Holidays at  on Friday 20December at 12 noon, and re-open on 6 January.
