​The theme for Catholic Schools Week this year was Catholic Schools: Learning with Pope Francis to Care for Our Common Home. As Catholic schools, we can play an essential role in shaping the future of our planet by working together to care for our common home. Our world is a gift from God and we are called to act as both stewards and protectors during our time here. It is our responsibility to care for our world and make it a better place for the next generation.
On Wednesday February 1st we celebrated Grandparent's Day.  Fr Comiskey celebrated a beautiful Mass and we were so delighted to have our diocesan advisor Sr Anna Smith join in our celebration. It was also wonderful to see so many of the grandparents and parents in attendance.  Well done to all the children who participated in the readings, prayers, singing and tin whistle playing.  It really was a very special occasion !
As it was also the feast of St Brigid the children presented all those present with a lovely St Brigid's Day Cross and card.

Every student was out in force on Friday the 10th February to take part in Operation Transformation’s 10 minutes of exercise at 10 o’clock. This was a challenge set down by the RTE programme for every school in Ireland to spend 10 minutes completing a range of physical activities.  
We completed a variety of exercises such as jumping jacks, lunges and squats, dance aerobics and trim trail activities. We ensured that we were fully active for the full ten minutes. Everyone really enjoyed participating in the exercises. It was a lot of fun!
