Scéalta na Seachtaine 2nd september 2009

Fáilte romhaibh ar ais ar scoil! We welcome all the boys who are returning and especially welcome the new boys who have joined us this year. We have two small classes of Junior Infants and we wish them very well as they begin their educational journey.

Thank you to all the people who worked so hard over the summer to prepare the school for our return. Go raibh maith agaibh Tony and Liz who had the school looking so fresh when we returned.

We had a lot of work done over thesummer with new electrical work, a new fire alarm and of course a new bell and intercom. The school was painted by parent, Willy Raymond who did a beautiful job. Bíodh bliain iontach agaibh!
