• P5 - P7 Christmas Carol Service

  Thu 15 Dec 2022 Mrs R McCarry

  Well done to our Primary 5, 6 & 7 children who performed so well in the school Carol Service on Wednesday evening. Primary 5 told the Christmas story through readings and the Nativity tableau, Primary 6 played tin whistles and chime bars, enhanced by a harp and violin solos as well as singing the carols. Primary 7 set the scene with three beautiful carols to introduce the Carol Service, and provided a strong choral lead from the gallery throughout the service. 

   

  The Christmas Carol Service is now available to view on the Parish website.

• Christmas Fayre

  Sun 04 Dec 2022 Mrs R McCarry

  St. Patrick's & St. Brigid's PS and Nursery Unit were delighted to bring our PTA Christmas Fayre back on Sunday 4th December 2022 for the first time since Christmas 2019. We had an amazing afternoon of fun for everyone, including Santa's Grotto, Lucky Lapland grid, Santa's Chimney throw, Reindeer food making, tombolas and our famous Rickety Wheel. There was a constant supply of tea, coffee and mince pies and the Christmas Hampers raffle was amazing with over forty hampers to win. 

   

  We are so grateful to everyone who worked so hard to make this such a successful event. Our PTA worked tirelessly in organising, coordinating and approaching over 100 local businesses to donate prizes for the rickety wheel. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of these businesses and our friends and families who contributed so generously to the hampers. 

   

  Many thanks to Padraig Hill who spent the afternoon spinning the wheel and keeping everything moving; to Donal Cunningham who has donned the Santa outfit for the 10th time. Thanks to Mr Kinney and Mrs McKiernan who coordinated everything and put in endless hours behind the scenes to get everything organised; to our staff, both teaching and non-teaching, who gave up time on their precious weekends to man stalls and welcome our families.

   

  Finally, I want to thank our parents, friends and families who came out in such numbers to support our school. We raised an amazing amount of money but just as importantly, it was a great afternoon of entertainment and joy for our children and our community.
