The girls and their teachers put a huge amount of effort into their performances and the hard work certainly paid off.

We held a non-uniform day to raise funds for the repair of the damaged windows in St. Catherine's Church. We raised €427.41 and here is a photo of Ciara O' Brien with her teacher Ms. McDonnell presenting Reverend Isaac Delamere with the money.

On November 14th Alex, Ashanti, Katie and Lillian paid a visit to Kilbeggan N.S. where Garda Commissioner Drew Harris was launching the Be Safe Be Seen Road Safety campaign. A helicopter landed in the carpark and the girls got to look inside. There was also a fire engine, garda car and ambulance to look into. Take a look at the photos below.
