MAKE-A-WISH

On Friday October 5th some of our pupils met with Nicola from Make-A-Wish Ireland and presented her with a cheque for €460 which was raised by the school by hosting an Ice-Cream Party as part of our annual Fun Day in June. Last year’s 6th class chose Make-A-Wish as their charity of choice to receive the money raised. Nicola explained that the money is used to grant wishes to children who are very sick and have to spend a lot of time in hospitals. Their families are also part of the wish. 

Friendship Weeks

We will celebrate Friendship Week in the school from the 8th to the 19th of October. The children will take part in various Creative Writing, Art and SPHE activities during the week.

The children will also celebrate friendship in a variety of ways and will be recognised for being kind and friendly throughout the week!

Check out the noticeboard in the GP hall where children and staff post their “random acts of kindness”!
