We were delighted to welcome Aoife from Rinka, who paid us a visit last Friday. Rinka is a children’s fitness programme that is non-competitive and just for fun.

One of our most popular days of the year took place last Friday…GOAL Jersey Day. The school was awash with colour as everyone donned their favourite jersey. There was much talk about who supported what team and what each crest looked like. The aim was to raise money for the charity GOAL, who provide much needed assistance to those who need it most around the globe. A massive €399.60 was raised on the day.

We were blown away with the originality and creativity of our pupils. (more…)
