Lá Feile Pádraig daoibh!
Happy St Patrick’s Day to you all! It is fantastic to see the amount of green around the school and staff wearing some amazing outfits.
The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Given it is a festival day there is so much more to St Patrick’s Day than what countries outside of Ireland observe. It is a day of celebrating all things Irish: food, art, music – all the aspects that make up a robust, well loved culture! As you continue to move through your day, take a moment to absorb this old Irish blessing:
May love and laughter light your days and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons bring the best to you and yours!
Bíodh lá maith agat (have a great day!)

House Sports Day 2023
Held on Friday 3 March, House Sports Day is a sporting highlight that makes for a great break from the classroom for the whole school. A brilliant example of teamwork and support within and across each of the six house teams made for a memorable but tiring day, thanks to some sunny weather for a change.
Links to the final results for House Sports Day are as follows:
