13th Mar 2026
To begin our St. Patrick’s Day and weekend celebrations Mr McElroy delivered an assembly in which the children displayed their wonderful talents of singing, traditional music and Irish dancing. The running order for the day started with our instrumentalist group showcasing their wonderful talents playing Irish tunes on the tin whistle and guitar. The rest of the staff and pupils were treated to tunes including I'll Tell Me Ma, Star of the County Down, Dirty Old Town and Whiskey in the Jar….Amazing!

A huge well done to our Primary 1-7 pupils on each of their class performances.
