New Year, New Principal

When the students of Our Lady's N.S. stumbled back into school after a long and indulgent Christmas break they had a new Principal to greet them.

We were lucky that when Ms O'Sullivan retired we had a ready made replacement close at hand to step into the breach.

So, congratulations Mrs Egan and we all wish you the very best of luck (not that you'll need it) in your new position.

Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat!

The changing of the guard!

December the 20th. marked the end of the first term and as is customary we celebrated with a Children's Christmas Mass in the school. Our thanks to Fr Quirke as always, for a lovely, meaningful ceremony. This was followed of course by our Bumper Christmas raffle. Thanks to all our sponsors, thank you to our Parents' Council for their help in organising it and of course, well done to all the winners.

December the 20th. marked the end of something else as well though. This was the date of Ms. O'Sullivan's retirement.
Ms. O'Sullivan, who had been our Rural Coordinator for two years...
Ms. O'Sullivan, who had been our Principal for over nine years...
Ms. O'Sullivan, who made sure that no child was left wanting for anything on her watch...
Ms. O'Sullivan, who brought learning to our classrooms, leadership to our staffroom and sensitivity to our parents' room...

Yes, that Ms. O'Sullivan!
We really enjoyed having her as our Principal and we wish her all the best in her retirement.

Class of The Month - December 2019

Our well deserved winners of Class of the Month for December were Fifth and Sixth Class. Unfortunately they were so busy in the lead up to Christmas they didn't have time to stop for a photo so here are a few of pictures of some of their Christmas art instead!
