Great excitement at school today following the fantastic performances by all the pupils at the two Nativity Shows yesterday. Firstly we held our Christmas assembly where we were treated to some solo and group performances by all the class groups. Then Santa came to visit! We were delighted to welcome Santa to the school again this year and would like to thank him for coming to see us all. Happy Christmas everyone!!

The children from 3rd-6th Classes made a much welcomed return to The Diamond in Donegal Town today as the school took part in the carol singing organised by Donegal Town Business Focus Group. Mrs McDaid, as always, was the choir leader and the children represented the school excellently. Well done to all the boys and girls who took part, and thank you to Donegal Town Business Focus Group for the treats for the children after they had finished singing – much appreciated!
