FEIS

Congratulations to all our pupils who have participated in the feis thus far.  All involved survived the ‘experience’ and came out smiling in the end.  Irrespective of medals, the benefits of ‘performing’ will last well into the future in terms of confidence gained.  Yesterday 16 musicians from P.4-P.7 represented the school in the Primary School Traditional Band Section and what a job they did!  Though, ultimately, they lost out to an excellent performance from Magheralough P.S., they acquitted themselves superbly which was a testament to their hard work and practice and, of course, the endeavours of our Music Tutor, Mrs Nuala Sweeney.  Well done all!

CUMANN NA MBUNSCOIL GAA SKILLS DAY

Good luck to P.7 pupil Ger McElholm who has qualified to represent the school at the Cumann na mBunscoil GAA Skills Day at Garvaghey on Wednesday.
