Presentation of the Tricolour Flag

As part of the programme of events to mark the centenary of the 1916 Rising, all primary schools throughout the country are being presented with a tricolour. Two members of the Defence forces visited our school on Wednesday the 14th   of October to present us with the flag. Kimberley and Rory received the flag on behalf of the school and Niall read an extract from the proclamation. To finish up pupils in the senior room played Amhrán na bhFiann on the tin whistle while the junior room sang it. A tree was then planted outside to mark the occasion. A flag raising ceremony will be held later in the school year.
