World Book Day 2023
We had a great day last Thursday celebrating World Book Day. Many teachers and students dressed up as a character from one of their favourite books. By far, the most popular outfits were Matilda and Miss Trunchbull! There was one winning outfit selected in each class, and all of the winners got a free book token for the book fair coming to the school from March 27th – 31st. Well done to everyone who took part!

Over the next few months, we will be commencing a project to develop an all-weather Astro facility on the school grounds. This will include a pitch, track, lights and a ball wall. In order to raise money, we are having a Family Friendly Fundraiser Night at the Dogs on Friday June 9th at Newbridge Greyhound stadium. All are welcome on the night. Tickets cost €15 and every ticket sold will be entered into a draw for the great prize of €1000. All support for this project would be greatly appreciated.
