Morning daily assembly lectures started this week with great results.


“We had our second online assembly this morning with children from 2nd to 4th classes,” says Principal Cónall Clancy.

“Children are missing the 5’Ps: pausing, philosophy, practicing, pizza, and maybe, the Principal!”

Many thanks to Principal Clancy, the staff and the parents for all of their continued efforts during this time.
