NEWS ** 5th and 6th class are holding a cake sale today to raise funds for the Haiti Earthquake Appeal. ** Burst pipes, repairs to pipework and lack of water delayed our return to school until January 18th 2010. Thank you for your understanding and support. A special thanks to those parents who offered help over the past week. Thank you to our plumber Brendan Reddan and our tiler James Mc Namara - their hard work means we have been able to open the school on the 18th as announced.
