On the 19th of November we had our 1916 Flag Ceremony in the Community Centre. The whole school and the play school came to see two members of the Irish Defence Forces present the school with the Irish Flag for next year's 1916 Commemoration. As part of the Ceremony, one of the soldiers read part of the 1916 Proclamation and Leon from 6th Class also read part of this historic document. The soldiers then presented two members of our Student Council, Aislinn (6th Class) and Aisling (3rd Class), with the Irish Flag. It was a lovely occasion and the Junior School students really enjoyed waving their own Irish flags that they had made. We look forward to raising our flag next year.
