The school was once again taken over by a myriad of witches, vampires, skeletons and zombies for this year's Halloween celebrations. Everyone enjoyed a great days fun as they partook in traditional Halloween games and activities. 

Diocesan Advisor Sr. Anna visited our school on Thursday 26th October. She was delighted to see all the children and really enjoyed listening to them recalling their stories and songs from the Grow In Love Programme. Sr Anna taught the children a lovely song which they all enjoyed. To finish off her visit a beautiful prayer service was held, which was led by children in the senior room. Thank You Sr Anna for visiting our school ! 

Pupils from fifth and sixth class recently visited St. Bricin's College to experience the facilities the college has on offer. The pupils participated in workshops in woodwork, metalwork, art  and science. This was followed by a tour of the college by some courteous sixth year pupils.  The day was rounded off with a lovely lunch. We wish to thank St. Bricin's staff and pupils for their hospitality and for making this such an enjoyable experience. 

Children from all classes have been learning a variety of skills with athletic coach James Mc Dowell. Thank you James for your enthusiasm and motivation and we look forward to having you back again soon. 

We have recently been learning about our senses. We learned how each sense helps us learn about the world around us and helps us stay away from danger. 

On Sunday 22nd October we took part in a Sponsored Walk which was organised by our Parent's Association. It was a wonderful occasion from start to finish and even the weather was kind to us!  A huge thank you also to the parents for providing the very tasty refreshments for everyone on their return to the school.
The money raised from the walk will go towards purchasing new resources and equipment for the children.

The children in Second and Sixth Class had their Enrolment Ceremony on Sunday 22nd October in St Mary's Church Staghall.  This marked the beginning of their sacramental preparations for their special year.  

​The pupils in the senior room were recently brought on a nature walk to the old railway line at Killywilly. Along the way they observed the signs of the changing seasons and the natural preparations for the coming winter. Many samples of the wild autumn harvest were collected and brought back to school for further discussion and learning.
The children learned to appreciate the value of their natural surroundings and most of all discovered the great fun they can have outdoors in the open countryside.
