A big thank you to Ms. Crosbie and Anita Mahon for enabling the children to participate in the TAP programme this year. TAP is a wonderful programme that improves the arts, creativity, literacy, numeracy & well-being in schools. TAP is a highly innovative, creative and participant-responsive programme. The children and teachers have enjoyed working with Anita for the last six weeks.

Congratulations to both the under 11’s team and under 13’s team in the Credit Union Table Quiz. Both teams were great representatives for the school and received very high scores. Thanks to all who participated and supported both teams.
