Building Works: During the break we will be repairing the roof of the
original building and carrying out some other minor building works.
When complete this means that the whole building will have been up-
graded.

vegetables were sent home over the past few weeks. At some stage, every-
one will get to take some vegetables home.
Lourdes: A free trip to Lourdes is available to Pupils aged between 11
and 18 years. Those wishing to go must not have travelled with the Irish
Pilgrimage Trust in the past three years. The trip takes place at Easter
each year. Application forms are available from the office. Closing date
for applications is 31.10.2017.
Halloween Party: A Halloween Party will be held on Friday in the
school. Pupils are asked to dress up for the occasion.
