Tionól na Féile Bríde agus na Seantuismitheoirí/ Celebration of St. Brigid and Grandparents

27th Jan 2026

As part of Catholic Schools Week 2026 we welcomed our Grandparents and family members to our joint Grandparents and St. Brigid's Day assembly this morning. 

Thank you to the P1–P4 pupils for leading a beautiful Grandparents’ Day assembly,

Thank you to the P5 to P7 children who took part in St. Brigid’s Assembly and they all sang ‘We Sing a Song to Brigid’ beautifully.

Grandparents’ Day is often the highlight of Catholic Schools Week, celebrating the immense contribution they make to the faith lives of their grandchildren.  Pope Leo XIV strongly advocates for and prays for grandparents, emphasising their role as "witnesses of hope" and essential links between generations.

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 the class teachers and the teaching assistants for preparing the children so well.  They have also been produced lovely artwork which was on display throughout the school.

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

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