March 2026

Our core value for the month of March is Peace. The poster was designed by Gearoid from 5th class. March is always a busy month with the Hindu festival of Holi on March 4th, International Women's Day on March 8th, Mother's Day on the 15th and St Patrick's Day on the 17th and The Muslim Celebration of Eid al Fitr marking the end of Ramadan on March 19th. Seachtain na Gaeilge will be celebrated in the school all this week with lots of ceol agus craic in the school.
