Congratulations Dane!

A huge congratulations to Dane McKenna who won the Art and Hobby Shop's Easter competition!

Each boy in the school was given a foam Easter egg to decorate. Dane chose to make his into a minion. His creative design was chosen not only as the best in the school but in the whole competition. 

It's currently on display in the Art and Hobby Shop in the Jervis Shopping Centre.

A big thanks to Ms Murphy for organising the completion entries  for us. 

Our Ceremony of Light

As part of our preparation for our Confirmation the boys had their Ceremony of Light in the church tonight.

All of the boys turned up at the church with a candle in hand and their sponsor or someone from home. 

Brandon did a great job reading the first reading and Nathan, Cian and Dane read the prayers of the faithful wonderfully.

Near the end of the ceremony all of the boys and girls were invited up onto the altar. The adults with them then lit their candles and passed them on to the boys in a symbol of passing on their faith.

We are all really looking forward to the big day now on June 13th!

Here are a few snaps from tonight 

It's all Greek!

We are doing a project at the moment all about Greece. We are learning all about the countries geography and it's ancient history.

Did you know Greece is one and a half times the size of Ireland? It has a population of 10 million.

We are learning all about Ancient Greek gods such as Ares, Apollo and Zeus. Here's a picture of us researching information for our projects.

Letter from the USA!

Today we received letters from out penpals in Toledo, Ohio! 

We wrote to them in February and we were very excited to see their replies today. 

We are going to write back tomorrow and tell them all about our Confirmation and Aran Islands trip that we have coming up.
