Christmas Coffee Morning 2011

Our Christmas Coffee Morning was a huge success this year.  It was fantastic to see so many Parents, Guardians, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Past Pupils in attendance.

The Parents Association, once again had gone to great efforts in organising the Christmas Hampers, raffle and tea and coffee for the event.  Once again I would like to extend my gratitude to the Parents Association Volunteers, and also to everyone who donated prizes for the raffle and bought tickets.  Your support is greatly appreciated and all monies raised will go to buying resources for the pupils.

Dave, from the Magic of Music, along with all of the Teachers and Support staff had put weeks of preparation and rehearsal into preparing the Pupils for their performance of  ’Hosanna Rock’ and the children rose to the occasion in putting their full enthusiasm and talents on show for the audience.  All of the Staff were extremely proud of the efforts of the Pupils and in turn the Pupils enjoyed their performance.

We were also delighted to welcome back Fr.Gary, our outgoing Chairperson who has transferred to Malahide.  Pupils presented Fr.Gary with some small tokens of appreciation and also 5th and 6th class sang Silent Night in French, which they learned in their French lessons with Ms.Butler and Ms.Mulryan.  We wish Fr.Gary all the best in his new parish and sincerely thank him for all that he has done for Scoil Cholmcille during his time in Donaghmede.
