This is our Primary 7 ‘Graduation’ celebration. It is always a very moving occasion, especially for those families for whom this will be their last contact with Our Lady of the Missions. We would ask that children wear full school uniform, shirt and tie. I look forward to welcoming family and friends. Children will be presented with a bible, funded by our P.S.A. All family and friends are welcome to join us. Please indicate number on return slip.
Monday 23rd June Leavers’s Ceilidh 6.45pm – 9.00pm School Hall
The final celebration for our leavers is a ceilidh to be held in the school hall. The children will be piped into the hall and we ask all parents to come into the Mensa to form a Guard of Honour to welcome the children. At the end of the ceilidh, parents are invited to come into the hall where the children will sing their farewell songs!
