Weekly Update February 9th-27th 2026 ( Midterm Break)
SERVICE OF LIGHT: We just want to congratulate all the boys on their Service of Light on February 11th and acknowledge how engaged and reverent they were throughout the service.They are a real credit to all their parents/guardians and it was our pleasure to work with them and work with you in making it such a lovely celebration. Many hanks to Mr O'Keeffe for his delivery of the Grow in Love programme in school. Special thanks to the choir, under the charge of Ms Smith and supported by Mr Gilheaney. Their singing really added to the sense of the occasion.
