Today we were very proud to receive the National Flag and a copy the Proclamation of the Irish Republic by three members of the armed forces. Sergeant Flanangan, Corporal Smith and Private Maguire presented us with these in a very solemn and thought provoking ceremony. Children played the National Anthem on the tin whistle before the ceremony and then it was sung by all in attendance at the end. The Student Council, our Green Schools Committee and representatives of all classes were in attendance.
