Everyone is welcome to our annual 6^th class sale which takes place on Tues 23^rd June from 10 am. Most of the proceeds raised on the day will be in aid of Temple St. Hospital, with the remainder going to our school. There will be lots going on, including a bric-a-brac stall, a cake sale, raffles as well as teas and coffees. This promises to be a fun day for everyone so please come along to support it if you can.
