A visit to Dublin Zoo

4th Class joined their classmate Sarah on a day out to Dublin Zoo, as they celebrated the inclusion of her art work in this years Agri-Aware Farm Safety Calendar. Children and adults alike had a wonderful time and we would like to thank Dublin Zoo, Agri-Aware, FBD Insurance and the ESB for a lovely day. The children met some of the Ireland’s famous zoo keepers, who were very generous with their time, sharing many of the latest stories from the zoo. Check out the 8th edition of our magazine where we will share many of the wonderful memories of our day.

Art Exhibition

The ‘Singing in the Rain’ Chorus Line

Thank you to all who supported and worked so hard to make our Art Exhibition a success. All the artists were delighted with the turnout and the speed with which their work was snapped up by discerning collectors. We know that these pictures, like early works of a young Picasso, will hang in pride of place in houses throughout the community.
