🎄✨ Wishing our School Community a Very Merry Christmas ✨🎄
As we come to the end of a wonderful term, we would like to wish all our parents, pupils, and families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This special video captures the beauty and spirit of our Christmas Mass, celebrated by Fr Tom, with the Gospel beautifully brought to life through a Nativity dramatisation by our fantastic Senior Infants. Thank you to Muirin and Dervla for their beautiful music.
We were also treated to a truly uplifting performance from our magnificent school choir, whose singing made the celebration extra special and filled our hearts with joy.🎶✨ ... See MoreSee Less
