We had great fun today as we got together as a school community to celebrate World Book Day. This year we made a conscious decision that World Book Day should be about reading and enjoying books, not dressing up as book characters. So instead we read, we dramatised, we wrote, we illustrated and we discussed what we had read. We all agreed that we celebrated WBD in the very best way!

The Mass was celebrated by Monsignor John Byrne who was ably assisted by the other priests of the parish. We owe our gratitude to Mr Conway, Class Teacher, and Ms Dunne for assisting them in their preparation for their big day.

Thank you, Fr. Ciprian!
