Concern Primary Debates

Well done to the 6th Class Pupils who took part in the Concern Primary Debates this year. This is the first year the school took part in these debates and the pupils did very well to reach the County Finals, losing out to a well drilled team from Kilmacrennan NS.

5th and 6th Class Visit the Rock Home

A few months ago 5th and 6th class visited the Rock Home to sing a few Christmas Songs and spread the Christmas cheer. We had a lovely visit and were treated like royalty with the mince pies and tea, crisps and goodies after our singing. We would like to offer our condolences to the families of those who have passed on since that happy day and wish the very best to everyone else during this difficult Covid Crisis.
