WELCOME BACK AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

A very warm welcome back to our school community. I hope you all had a happy and peaceful Christmas. It was great to see our wonderful students bounce in the doors once again. The boys were straight back to work and looking forward to the challenges that 2023 may bring them!

Our fabulous Pupils Voice Committee raised the amazing amount of €4135 in vouchers for the Capuchin Day Centre in our Christmas collection. The vouchers were delivered to the centre before Christmas and will be used to provide much needed food and supplies for homeless families over the winter season. A special word of thanks must go to Matthew Rourke and Tom Burton from 5th class for all their hard work with the collection. They made numerous motivational speeches and called to each class every day to encourage us all to donate to this worthy cause.

Well done boys. We are so proud of you all.
