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....

Further to Thursday's group text message from the school, please note that we have been reliably informed that some of our pupils will feature on News2Day on RTE 2 at 4 pm on Monday, Dec 9th (not Dec. 5th, as we stated in the group text message). Be sure to tune in - it's a very interesting feature!

The Junior Infants and some of their friends will also perform a short Nativity Play during this Mass. All parents and friends are welcome to attend...

Our annual school trip to the cinema will take place on December 19th. The cost of this trip (bus fare + cinema ticket) has yet to be agreed with the service providers. The film we will be watching is, "Frozen."
