Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As we approach the joyous season of Christmas, after a busy and enjoyable term one, I want to take a moment to reflect on the year we’ve had in 2024 and express my deepest gratitude to the Derrychrin School Community.

Our wonderful children, who have worked so hard in all areas of learning with belief, kindness, resilience, and a willingness, even in the face of challenges. I know they are all super excited as they await Santa and receive all the gifts they deserve.

To our dedicated and committed staff who continue to make a significant impact within our school community and especially on the lives of our children with their care and support to ensure our children achieve their best.

To our families, for your invaluable support, encouragement and co-operation. We are grateful for the trust you place in us and for the partnership we share in nurturing and educating your children.

We pray that the school community have a safe, relaxing and enjoyable Christmas. May your holidays be filled with love, peace, and happiness. I look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, refreshed and ready for new experiences in 2025.

On behalf of the pupils, staff and Board of Governors, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year!

Warmest regards,

Mr. Ciaran McElroy

Principal
