This week we held a special ceremony to mark our change in patronage with Minister for Education Norma Foley and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Paschal Donohue.
It was such a gorgeous afternoon led by the children. Gabi and Asanda, co-chairs of our Student Council spoke so eloquently. All of the children listened so carefully and sang so beautifully. Well done to the children who represented our children’s teams and spoke to our guests in the Hall about their work. We were very, very proud of each and every one of you.
There were many guests who joined us – Senator Marie Sherlock, Senator Mary Fitzpatrick, former staff of the school, members of the Board of Management, Fr Paul from Berkeley Road Parish, representatives from the Dublin Diocese, the General Secretary of the Irish National Teacher’s Organisation (INTO), the Executive Dean of DCU’s Insititute of Education, the CPSMA, the New Communities Partnership, School Completion Programme, Trinity College, Grangegorman ABC Programme, Educate Together board members, staff and supporters and principals from other local schools.
