The Board of Management elections took place recently. Parents were asked to nominate a male and female candidiate. Many thanks to all of the other nominees for allowing their names to go forward for election.

Congratulations (posted 21/11/2011)

A huge congratulations to Triple K, the group of pupils from 4th and 5th class who represented the school in the Excellent Factor talent show. Triple K wowed the crowd with a performance of the Ceelo Green song Forget You. After the crowd votes had been counted and the judges had their say Triple K were awarded third place overall. Given the very impressive standard in the competition it was a great achievement. Well done to the pupils and also to Ms Corcoran and Ms Sheeran for helping them to prepare.
