Coillte have made a commitment to supply material goods like fencing and signs and Leader has approved the applications for grants for the pathways and picnic area. Unfortunately Leader excluded the most expensive venture from grant aid - the duck pond. The Association would like to thank those who took part in the fund-raising walk for Belleek. They would especially like to thank the local national schools for their help. On the eleventh of December the annual Christmas Carol Service was staged in the school hall.
All participants deserve a pat on the back as it was a very joyous event.
The first year students, who enacted the nativity, reminded us all of the real meaning of Christmas. Sarah Winters, Caroline Walkin, Pamela O'Hora, Hazel Roache, Kim O'Hora, Anne Reddington, Clair Tighe, Sandra Marshe, Kelly Anne O'Shaughnessy and Olivia Ruane, all second year students, performed a liturgical dance with the theme - peace. Students from third year and sixth year respectively recited the prayers of the faithful and readings. Some students from fifth year enacted a play telling the story of a man waiting for God to visit him but he did not recognise Him in the poor people who came to his tavern in search of food and shelter. Attracta finished by expressing her thanks to the teachers and students involved on behalf of the entire school.
