SCHOOL NEWS
First Holy Communion will take place on Saturday, April 28, next year. The school is awaiting a permit to commence a weekly split-the-pot in an effort to purchase iPads for the school children. If there are any homes where iPads, tablets or laptops are not being used the school would appreciate if they would consider donating them to the school for the children.
You can follow school activities on the Facebook page Ballyduff NS parents’ association. All support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone who supported our recent Christmas Concert and clothes collection.
