Community News – Passion Play 2023
The people of Ballylinan are hoping to stage the Passion Play in the run up to Easter 2023. There are a huge number of roles to be filled as well as front stage, back stage, costumes, make up etc. Children will also be needed for crowd scenes closer to the time! We would love to extend a warm welcome to all to join us for the greatest story ever told. Open meeting on January 7th in St. Anne’s Hall, Ballylinan at 7.30pm.
Nollaig Shona
I would like to take this opportunity to wish everybody associated with the school – but especially you the parents – a very happy and peaceful Christmas. As always, we are aware of some difficult family circumstances and will be keeping you in our prayers.
The school will close for the Christmas holidays at 12:15 for Infants and 12:30 for all others on Wednesday next, 21st December. The children don’t have to wear their uniform on that day; they may wear something festive if they wish. We will re-open on Thursday, 5th January 2023. Other planned closures are detailed on the school website.
Thank you all for your support as always. Nollaig shona daoibh go léir.
