Grandparents’ Day & St. Brigid’s Day Assembly 2025

4th Feb 2025

As part of Catholic Schools Week 2025, we welcomed our Grandparents and family members to our joint Grandparents and St. Brigid's Day assembly this morning. 

Grandparents’ Day is often the highlight of Catholic Schools Week, celebrating the immense contribution they make to the faith lives of their grandchildren. Pope Francis continues to offer many prayers to Grandparents and highlights the important role they play in family life. Unfortunately, we had Grandparents unable to attend or who are no longer with us. We remembered them throughout our assembly, and were very much in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you to Miss McVey and the P1-P4 pupils who led the Grandparents’ Day assembly and to Mrs McGuckin and the P5-P7 pupils who led the St. Brigid’s Day assembly. Thank you to the class teachers and the teaching assistants for preparing the children so well. They have also produced lovely artwork which was on display in the school hall, in the classrooms and throughout the school. 

Our Grandparents got an opportunity to visit the classrooms and get a photo with their Grandchildren. Everyone was then treated to the lovely refreshments. Special thank you to Margaret, Colette, Caitriona and Gemma for organising refreshments.

It was lovely to have the school community together celebrating such a special occasion. We thank everyone for attending.
