BOOK FAIR 2023

Huge thanks to our Parents’ Association for organising the Scholastic Book Fair to come to our school in November 2023. The children began browsing and compiling their Wish lists and it was open to the public for 4 days on Saturday 11th, Sunday 12th, Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th November from 1:30-4pm each day. Thanks everyone who supported, bought and gave up their time for this. E3,000 was spent on books and the school will be allowed spend some of this to invest in new books for class libraries.

Science Week 2023

Thanks so much to Joanna, Lea and all the other parents/ students from MTU so put on a great science Demo in the hall for all the classes during Science Week November 2023. Thanks to 6th class volunteers too who helped out. We learned about DNA, looking at skin cells, electricity and biophotonics along with many more fascinating demonstrations. Classes did their own in-class science experiments too. Thanks to Ms O'Shea for organising this for us and to all the young scientists who did experiments in front of their classmates.
