Dear Parents,
Graduation Ceremony
I would like to congratulate the children in Sixth Class who graduated at last night’s ceremony. On behalf of the children and staff, I would like to wish Emma-Kate, Ellen, Conor, Leah, Sinead, Jane, Mark, Eva, Thomas, Emma, Nicole, Zoe, Ross, Roisin, Ross, Nathan and Kristena the very best of luck and good wishes for secondary school. We will miss them and hope that we will see them all again in the future. Many thanks to the families who have now left our school, your support and kindness over many years is greatly appreciated. We hope our paths will cross again. Many thanks to the Parents’ Association and parents who helped organise the food afterwards. It is very much appreciated.

As you are aware, a new permanent teaching position arose in our school for this coming September.
