Sept 2011 Start of Year School Mass

October 29, 2011

Our Start of Year School Mass is always a great occasion and creates a wonderful atmosphere in the school. This year our theme was “Flowers”. There was wonderful art work done in all the classrooms and the gym was adorned with a vast array of floral designs. The ceremony was presided over by Fr. Cahir and parents, teachers and pupils all contributed to the mass by singing hymns, playing instruments, doing the readings and saying the prayers. This year’s ceremony was made even more special as it marked the retirement of Mrs. Rosemarie McManus who had given more than thirty years service to the school. Mrs. McManus was presented with a beautiful Painting sketched by Daryll Lally on behalf of all the pupils. A presentation was also made by our Parents’ Association in honour of the tremendous service Rosemarie had given to the school.
