At our virtual assembly, we were once again reminded that there are students who could get this award every day of every week, such is their level of caring and kindness towards others and their conscientious and diligent attitude to their class work.

We learned of children who are continuously positive. They refuse, in spite of obstacles, to be anything but optimistic in their outlook while also encouraging others. We learned of those who had made excellent strides with their handwriting, presentation skills and homework. We could not ask any more of our pupils. Others have made significant progress throughout this year and their teachers have really enjoyed tracking this. To see how our students interact with each other and observe the level of respect they have for each other and indeed our school is so rewarding for us as teachers. Maith sibh go léir!

Finally, we are celebrating Autism Acceptance Week for the final week of a busy term. The theme this year is colour, so we are holding a ‘Rainbow Colours Day’ on Friday, March 31st. This is to celebrate the beauty in the diverse spectrum of the human mind, where the children and staff are invited to wear rainbow and/or colourful clothes to school on this day, to finish off our week brightly and celebrate all of the wonderful children that we have in our school. We look forward to an exciting end to our term.
