Well done to the P5 and 6 boys who took part in the primary schools indoor hurling competition last Tuesday.  This was the boys first experience of playing in a competitive hurling match and they really learned a lot.

Thankfully the snow stayed away this year and we were able to complete our various Christmas celebrations.

There was a wonderful turnout amongst the children for our school choir, which sung at the Cross Community Carol Service.  Over fifty children came out that evening for a beautiful rendition of Oh Holy Night.  Our staff, although biased, felt that the singing was amongst the best there.  Indeed this was backed up by many members of the community and parents who said the same.

There was a great buzz around the school on Monday as elections took place for our New Schools Council.

As the voters entered the hall each of the candidates tried hard to canvass for some last minute votes.

By break time the voting was over and the votes counted.  The children waited in eager anticipation to see who would be successful.

To great cheers the names of the elected members were called out.

Good luck to our new Schools Council of:

Ross McCartan, Ooleen Morgan, Niamh Keary,

Robert Poland, Amy Flanagan, Keeva McAllister,

Cara Burns, Niall McAllister and Kirsten Wilson.

We wish to thank Mrs Davey, Mrs Burns and Mr Coogan for helpin gon election day.  They did a great job of checking each voters id and counting the votes.

Thanks also to Miss McEvoy who is leading the development of the Schools Council and to all of the teachers for their work in providing Democracy Day etc.
