Catholic Education Week

This week is Catholic Education week with a focus on Worship and Celebration. At a time when our ability to attend Mass was impacted so dramatically due to lockdown it is wonderful that we can return to celebrating as a community of faith. It has been wonderful to see families attend weekly Mass in such numbers and to see so many children attend the Ignite Club.  We have much to be thankful in terms of our Catholic schools and much to celebrate.  Please continue to share with your family the joy of worship and celebration by attending weekly services

Parents Evenings

Please check your child’s bag for important information in regard of booking an appointment for Parents Evening.  The system is now live and will be open until 12th November at 3.30pm to accept bookings.  Please note face to face meetings in school cannot take place.  Appointments will take place via telephone for Pr. 1 – 6.  Parents of Pr. 7 pupils will have their meeting via video link.

Flu Immunisations and Video
