Oulart
END OF YEAR MASS
The pupils and staff of Scoil Mochua attended an end of year Mass in St Patrick’s Church, Oulart last week to celebrate their efforts of the past year and to give a ‘send-off’ to the pupils of sixth class, who are moving on to secondary school. The boys and girls participated fully in the ceremonies by their music, singing, readings and prayers having been excellently prepared by their dedicated teachers and supportive parents. Best of luck to the whole school community as they prepare to enjoy a well deserved summer vacation.
CHEQUE PRESENTATION
Well done to Sheila Mythen and Christine Smyth, Mayview Park, who visited St Senan’s Primary School, Enniscorthy, last week and presented a cheque for€1,300 to the Autism Unit to help towards providing extra equipment for the children, like Sheila’s grandson, who attend the Unit. The women raised the money through a Card Drive and raffle that they organised in the Oulart Hill Bar a few weeks ago.
