Stars and Highlights of the week 08.05.26

8th May 2026

It’s been a shorter week in school after the Bank Holiday Monday, but it has still been packed with excitement and celebration.

A huge congratulations to our girls who took part in the Lorna Moore Camogie Cup on Wednesday  they played brilliantly throughout the day and were delighted to bring home the win! Their teamwork, determination, and effort were fantastic to see, and we are so proud of them all.

There is lots of excitement building as pupils continue preparing for their First Holy Communion. A heartfelt thank you to all the people who have helped out.  

This week, we also marked Deaf Awareness Week, celebrating inclusion and helping children learn more about hearing loss and hearing aids. It was lovely to see the kindness and support shown by pupils, especially as we proudly have both a Primary 3 pupil and a member of staff who wear hearing aids in our school community.

Good luck to all our pupils making their First Holy Communion this weekend. We hope you have a very special day with your family and friends.
