A big thank you to all involved – we raised £751.79.

Jobs include food preparation, dish washer filling, serving and front of house duties – all carried out in our professional kitchen and restaurant.
It’s fantastic to see so many parents and family members getting involved in the life of the school – Parental Involvement is so important to staff and pupils. Thank you.

Daily Prayers
“God doesn’t love you if….
God loves you always.
Remind yourself of that when feelings of failure, loneliness and despair come over you.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel that you don’t measure up or worse still,
make you feel better than others.
God only wants your best effort, not perfection.
You are you, loved by God, imperfect and beautiful.
Based on the words of Nick Vujicic
Our Father…..
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
May I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen

Lord, I know you are with me and love me.
Give me peace of mind as I prepare for this time of study.
Help me to focus on my books and notes,
keep me from all distractions so that I will make the best use
of this time that is available to me.
Give me insight that I might understand what I am studying ,
and help me to remember it when the time comes.
Above all, I thank you for the ability to be able to study
and for the many gifts and talents you have given me.
Help me always to use them in such a way
that they honour you and do justice to myself.
Amen (Salesians in Ireland)
