National Childrens’ Choir

Congratulations to all our 5th and 6th class pupils who sang so beautifully in St. Canice’s Cathedral. These concerts take place every two years and we are delighted, as always, to be involved in this nationwide collaboration. A total of nine schools from the Kilkenny region took part. Eighteen of our students have been invited to sing in the National Concert Hall on June 11th.
  Thanks to Eamonn Cahill’s pupils All that Jazz who entertained the audience with their interval act on Thurs. Night and our own flautists and violinists who did so on Friday night.

Sports Tokens
A total of 12,500 Supervalu tokens were collected in the school. Thanks to all who contributed. As the general P.E. stock is quite substantial at the moment, the tokens will be used for equipment for the Special Class.
