End of Year Mass

Our end of year mass took place in the school hall. This very special and memorable occasion was celebrated by Fr. Des. The celebration comprised of a wonderful choir, musical recitals, prayers and readings. A special graduation ceremony also took place for Rang 6. We wish them well as they progress into secondary school.

5th Class First Aid Workshop.

5th class took part in a fantastic First Aid work shop today with Louie from the Oranmore Civil Defense. We learned all about what to do if we come across someone who is unconscious, choking or bleeding. We also paired up and practiced putting each other into the recovery position. Have a look at the photographs below to see some of the activities we took part in during the course of the workshop.
