Dear Parents,

( The church is in the centre of town beside the Downshire House Hotel.)Pupils and their families need to be there by 10.40a.m. There will be pews reserved for our teachers and pupils in the church.
• Refreshments will be held in the school hall after the service.(Take the road to Dublin out of the town and, on the outskirts, turn left at the Maxol garage. Drive straight down this road through two small roundabouts; the school is in a cul de sac at the bottom of the road .)
• Races will be held in the GAA grounds after refreshments. The grounds are adjacent to the school.
• Children must be supervised by their parents/guardians at all times.
• Children must wear runners . Spiked running shoes are not allowed and children must not run in their bare feet.
