 The boys from our school choir did a great job singing in the Shopping Centre on Tuesday. It was great to see so many parents and grandparents coming along to hear the beautiful singing. It was also nice to here lovely comments from shoppers who found their day brightened by the cheerful voices. The boys were singing in aid of St. Vincent de Paul who do such wonderful work in our community. 

Mr Mac Cinna's Fifth class travelled to Dungannon today for their second 'Hands of Friendship' seminar.

The boys spent the day in workshops with pupils from Aughnacloy, Castleblayney and Coalisland.

They had a great day and learned a great deal about conflict resolution.

They are already looking forward to their next day away.
