As usual the Parents Association organised a Halloween Party in the School Hall. It was held on Friday 24th October and all the kids in the school dressed up. There were a variety of costumes from scary, cute to original! The DJ was great and there was lots of dancing done, with some of the parents even joining in! Spot prizes were given out and of course there was a goody bag for everyone at the end of the night.
The Enrolment Ceremony will take place next Sunday, 16th November at 10 a.m. mass in Knockavilla.
Children need to bring in their Baptismal candle to school with their name clearly labelled on the candle as soon as possible.
Parents must read through the format of the ceremony with their child at home.
The next date to note after this is the 23rd November, when Gurrane children are bringing the gifts to the altar again.
