Confirmation
Congratulations to all our P7 children who were confirmed on Sunday 19 April at St Thérèse. All our children sang and read wonderfully. Thank you to all the children who participated in the Choir and to our parents for their support. We are all very proud of all our children. Thank you to Bridge Primary School for providing refreshments in the Parish Centre afterwards.
Pam Grimes
On behalf of the whole school community I would like to pay tribute to Pam Grimes who sadly passed away during the Easter break. Pam worked as a supervisor at St Mary’s for more than 31 years and will be sadly missed by all the children and staff. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pam and her family.

Well done to all the girls but a special mention for Caitlin Devlin, Amy McPolin, Anna Murphy and Orlaith Smyth who all had an excellent tournament.
