In the spirit of Christmas, our school choir have been out in force this week, spreading Christmas cheer. Last Saturday night, 42 children volunteered to sing beautiful Christmas Carols for the congregation of the Church of the Immaculate Conception before evening Mass. It was fitting that it was the celebration of Gaudate  (Joyful) Sunday, as the sweet voices certainly lifted the spirits of those present. Many languages were covered in the songs including, English, Irish, German and Polish. The carols featured went as far back as the oldest carol, “Silent Night” and included some often forgotten verses of other popular songs like “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and “The Holly and the Ivy”. Thanks to all of the children and parents and grandparents who allowed us to carry out this lovely gift of singing at this special time of the year.

As we try to forge links with the community and through the generations, a select group of the choir were picked to visit Cloverfield Daycare Centre today to sing for the residents. This event was made all the more special for some of the children, as they were singing for their grandparents. It was a very special occasion and the children were so excited to be singing for some our more senior members of the community. Thank you to the staff and residents of Cloverfield for their warm welcome and encouragement as we sang our medley of Christmas Carols.

As we approach the Christmas holidays, all that is left for me to say, is thank you to all who visit our website regularly to keep up to date on our busy school news. The hits are high and we are delighted with the feed back from all regarding the content and the layout of it. We hope that it gives you an insight into our wonderful school and the exciting things that we do there
