World Champions!

At our school assembly on Friday 17th April we acknowledged the fantastic achievements of our talented 6th class boys above who took part in the World Irish Dancing Championships in Chicago.  How lucky we are to have these boys as part of our school community and as role models for all the younger children. The boys’ achievements clearly show that with hard work and determination-dreams do come through.
