Building Works

We are almost there! The new building will not be ready for another week or two to allow all the finishing touches to take place - we do hope to move in by the second week of Sept. We will enjoy showing the pupils and parents/guardians when it is finally ready! The school will look wonderful when it is all finished and we thank Colm, Bill and all the crew for all their hard work getting us to this point! Here is a sneak preview of some of the rooms!
