Fundraising Events 2016:

Bag-packing in Dunnes is a great success, we managed to raise over €1600!! We are so greatful to the boys, parents and staff who helped us all day. We received excellent feedback from customer and the staff in Dunnes could not have praised the boys highly enough.

The sponsored walk raised €800, it was another great success. We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone involved. Parents, family and friends really got behind the school and the money raised ensured the boys got to participate in really fun outings

Graduation Day 2016

A particularly emotional day, especially for poor Ms. O'Doherty :-) who was a very busy bee organising a memorable ceromony for the senior boys. We are all so sad to see them go as we are all so fond of them. We would like to wish the boys the very best of luck in the secondary school!
