From Ms Kennedy (Assistant Principal, Early Years)
What a busy half-term this has been; the children and staff are all ready for a well-deserved break! We were so proud of their performances at the Spring Concert last week, and the trip to Lullymore was a massive success
The Easter Bunny
On Thursday morning, we had a very special visitor, The Easter Bunny! The Early Years children were delighted to meet him as they searched for Easter Eggs around the forest Thank you so much to our parents' association, the FCP, for organising such a fun event for the children
Thank you to all my staff for their enthusiasm and dedication this term. I look forward to seeing you all again after the break for another action-packed term.

Boys FAI Primary Schools Soccer Tournament
Sports review written by Oisín
Match 1:
We lost our first game against Tavey with a score of 8-1 After that, we knew we had to change our tactics and improve our organisation to have a chance to win the Tournament
Match 2:
We won our match against Stepaside as the boys started listening more, and our new tactics worked well The score was 6-1
Match 3:
We also won our 3rd game All of our players played well because we were more organised
Match 4:
We played against St Kevins, and it was a close match It ended 1-1, but the referee gave the other team a goal even though the ball hit the post and went out. This decision cost us a place in the quarterfinals.
The players who played exceptionally well and scored in our games were Finley, Matthew, Peter, and Pietro.
Overall, the boys played great, and Mr Hillman was very proud. As a coach, I found it fun and exciting to see our team's progress.
