Weekly News. Monday 12th - Friday 16th November 2018

On Monday 12th November our shoeboxes for Team Hope were collected. An incredible total of 130 shoeboxes were brought in by our families over the last few weeks. Sincere thanks to everyone who contributed - your kindness and generosity will give a lot of children in developing countries in places such as eastern Europe and African a much happier Christmas.

On Tuesday 13th November the Boys' Hockey team have a match at home against Rathgar National School at Three Rock Rovers.

On Wednesday 14th November photographs will be taken of all classes for the school Centenary Calendar.

Congratulations also to Form Six who have managed to collect over 1100 Euro from their sponsored walk for charity - a final total will be updated shortly.
