School Reopening

From Monday 22nd February 2021 our school reopens for students of Ms.Martin’s class. We look forward to welcoming our students back to school and hope they readjust to school life with ease.
On Monday 22nd February we will host a whole school assembly and a zoom call invitation will be sent to parents only inviting you to join us. Our thanks to Rev’d Kevin who has agreed to lead us in prayer at our assembly. The theme of our assembly will be that of “Friendship”.

Christmas at St.Mary’s!

Our students have been busily enjoying creative festive scenes to decorate our PE Hall in recent days. All teachers have worked very hard to ensure some festive spirit could be enjoyed this year despite our obvious restrictions.

Here are some photos to show you how our days have been spent leading up to the Christmas break.

Activities included, festive cooking by some students, a charity walk for SVP, lots of artwork and of course the obligatory festive jumpers by many of our students!

Merry Christmas to everyone from the staff of St.Mary’s NS.
