TOURS: 

 Thanks to everyone for a very successful tour ‘season’.

 BORN TO MOVE:

Samantha is joining us tomorrow for a final session.  Children can wear shorts and she has asked for ‘colourful’ t-shirts.  The children have really enjoyed the sessions and a special thanks to Samantha.

GYMNASTICS:
Thanks to Rosemary O’Sullivan who worked so hard during the two weeks ‘intensive’ gymnastics programme.  Children from the school who attend gymnastics elsewhere put on a display on the last day which was most impressive.

GRADUATION:
Congratulations to our 6^th class who will graduate tonight at a ceremony in the Dunne Sourke Hall at 7.30p.m. We wish them well and we know they will do you and us proud in the years ahead.

THE ‘R’ WORD:
My sincerest thanks to everyone who has made my departure so memorable.

I have wonderful memories of my years here that will stay with me forever.
