Going to the Movies!

As a special treat for all their hard work since August 30th, pupils are being brought to the movies (at the Omniplex) on Thursday (December 19th). The movie they will see is the animated adventure/comedy, "Frozen."
Notes: pupils may bring a few suitable treats to eat and drink (they will not be allowed to spend any money at the cinema). School tracksuits OR school uniforms may be worn for this trip. Pupils will be back at school before the regular closing time.

Pupils to provide music, carols - & more - at Mass on Friday at 11.00 a.m.

Thanks to Fr. Mike Cussen for rearranging Mass on Friday morning (December 20th) so that pupils can sing carols, play music and perform a short Nativity play, during the Mass and immediately afterwards.. Note: Mass on Friday will start at 11.00 a.m.. Spread the word....
