In these economic times, we are very fortunate to have our extension under construction. Our new two storey extension consisting of 8 new classrooms, G.P. Room, Special Education Rooms, store rooms, offices, etc. is taking great shape.
I have to acknowledge the excellent work of our Contractor, M.Fitzgibbon (Builders) Ltd. and his team of workers under the watchful eye of site Manager, Michael Moroney.
