Yesterday there was a lot of things happening in our school. There was a Graduation Mass, raising the Green Flag Ceremony and a party for Mairead Anglim, Claire Halpin and Leonie O' Dwyer. Mariead is retiring, Claire is being redeployed to Mullinahone NS and Ms. O' Dwyer is returning to college. We wish them all the best of luck.

For the Graduation there was lots of people in the school. We were so lucky that Nicky Brennan and his wife, Mairead came to visit our school. Nicky is the President of the GAA. Lots of our parents and coaches from the local GAA and soccer clubs and our teachers and SNAs were also with us on the night. There was also a great turn out from County Councillers and representatives of the government.
