Today we received our National Flag and Proclamation from two members of our Defense Force. What a wonderful occasion!. Colin in 6th did us proud by reading some of the Proclamation. Nathan & Warren received the flag and Mrs Finnegan received the Proclamation. The soldiers then had a question and answer session where the boys asked very relevant questions. We finished the ceremony by playing & singing Amhrán na bhFiann. Well done to all!

Trip to Iniscarra

Today the Green Schools' Committees of both the Boys' and Girls' Schools went on a trip to Iniscarra Dam. We had a terrific day in this Nature Reserve. We saw squirrels, heron and cormorants. We walked up to the gates of the dam where we saw salmon jumping upstream. We were lucky with the timing of our trip as Gerard and Dan from the ESB Fisheries Conservation were catching Salmon and taking them to a nearby hatchery to spawn. We were shown a video explaining about how Electricity is generated there. We were then taken to see the generators, turbines and control rooms. What a fantastic trip we had today!

What a great start we had to the remainder of the term! Yesterday the West Midland Theatre Company performed "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" for us. It was all going fine until they tried a spell to turn the teachers into frogs. Thankfully it didn't work! We have many budding young actors throughout the school who volunteered to take part in the show. Well done Boys!
