Happy Retirement.

 We want to wish Mr Farrell and Mr Kelly the very best on their retirement. They will be greatly missed. We had a small ceremony via Zoom where the children thanked these two marvellous teachers for all they have done for the school. Míle buíochas.

Míle Buíochas : A Thousand Thanks!

We would like to thank everyone who helped with the reopening of our school. We would especially like to thank the children who were wonderfully patient and understanding. They were just brilliant and we are so proud of them. Welcome back and thank you!
