  Congratulations to the following pupils who won the marathon colouring-in homework competition. They were: Sam, Ava, Katie, Lucy, Aoife, Fintan and Courtney. Well done and thanks to all of our pupils who completed this task. 

  Bank Holiday Monday will be an early start for our marathon relay runners. They're hoping it will be a good day and an enjoyable run.

  A big thanks goes to Xavier's (P1 pupil) mum, Elaine, who kindly stepped in at the last minute to take the place of Miss O'Neill's leg of the marathon. We look forward to finishing the race together. Good luck to any of our parents who may also be either running the relay or the full marathon. 👍🏅
