Our February Golden Assembly for Years 4–7 provided an opportunity for us to gather together and celebrate everything that makes our school community so special. We were delighted to welcome Mark from Trócaire, who spoke to all our Year 4-7 pupils.  He helped us learn about Trócaire’s important work around the world, introduced this year’s Lenten theme and shared the story of the family featured in this year’s Lent campaign. Mark also explained how our support can make a real difference and showed the children simple ways they can get involved.

We also used the assembly to celebrate lots of good news in school. We presented our Pupil of the Month and Accelerated Reader awards, recognised achievements outside of school, shared a few important messages, sang “Happy Birthday” to our February boys and girls, and looked ahead to the rededication of Mater Dei Church coming up in March.

As part of our Lenten journey, we launched our Copper Coin Challenge.  During Lent, we will be encouraging our pupils to think about others and to help children who may not have the same opportunities they do.

With spring just around the corner, we are excited for another busy and successful month in school. Spring is on the way—bring on March!
