Thankyou to everyone who supported our Easter Draws.  The amount raised was £353.  

Year 7 pupils made their Confirmation on Saturday 19^th March in St. John the Baptist Church.  The Celebrant was His Eminence Archbishop Eamon Martin assisted by Very Rev. Michael Toner, Rev Michael Sheehan and Father Frank Brady SJ.  Pupils from Ballyoran PS led by Mrs McCreesh-West participated in the ceremony by providing some beautiful instrumental music.  Everyone looked very smart in their new clothes and enjoyed the celebration.

On Friday 11^th March, Alison Daly from NSPCC visited school for the cheque presentation.  Thanks to everyone’s hard work and effort, the children raised a very impressive £1021.85 through sponsorship for their ‘Dance-a-thon’.  On behalf of the NSPCC and the school, we would like to express our thanks and appreciation.
