THANK YOU

A huge thank you to the Parents’ Council in the school, have been working tirelessly over the last few weeks fundraising and seeking sponsors for our school show.  Without their help and support, much of what goes on the school would not be possible.

On Friday last, February 9th, our Second Year girls’ Basketball team faced St.David’s of Greystones at home.  The girls put in a spirited performance, but in the end lost out by just 2 baskets.  They are playing again on Tuesday February 13th.  Best of luck girls!
