Official Opening

On Friday the 8th of May, the whole school gathered in the Nano Nagle Hall. Very important people came, such as Mary Hanafin, the Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, Sister Nivard and the oldest member of the Presentation Community, Sr. Bridget. We had a blessing ceremony which the sixth class opened with a beautiful harmony of "Ave Maria". Aisling Walsh sixth class, read a poem she wrote about our school. The Archbishop and the Minister both made speeches about how good our school is.

	Afterwards we all went outside to raise our first Green Flag. We all admired the beautiful mural in our Serenity Garden. Ms. Hume made a small speech about how we achieved our Green Flag. Mary Hanafin then raised the flag which looked very nice. The whole school clapped and sang the "Green Song" which was great fun. It was a very special day and we are very proud of our new school building and green flag. By Tara G. and Amy P
