We are really enjoying learning about Africa in First Class. There are lots of different animals in Africa. We wrote about Kenya and we used crayons and oil pastels to do pictures in the style of TingaTinga!

Sincere thanks to David O Keeffe and his company Print Solutions. All of the new school signs that are now adorning our school walls were designed manufactured and erected by the team in Print Solutions at zero cost to the school. The Students, Staff, Board of Management and the entire school community are deeply appreciative of this very significant contribution to the school. It is important to say that even though the signs were badly needed we would never be able to afford them as we need all of our existing budget to keep everything else running in the school so to receive them in this way is wonderful. Thank you David and all of the hard working team in your company.
Sincere thanks to Haven Pharmacy, Drimnagh for their very kind sponsorship of our new Boys Football Jerseys.
