Knockadea National School closes the curtain on a brilliant year at T.O. Park
Just last night the children of this great school, the best there is in the entire region, put on a Christmas concert which will be the talk of the town for months to come.
The hall was packed to capacity as the children burst onto the stage opening with their version of the Xfactor. Hugely entertaining they sang and danced with great gusto. Each with their own very special talent on display for all to see and marvel.
Act after act, they kept us entertained for well over two hours. A credit first of all to their parents and then of course to their wonderful teachers and helpers speaheaded by their dynamic electric and hugely talented principal, Mr Jack O’Toole. In just a couple of years he has caterpulted this gem of a school to new heights. Long may this continue.
What a way to end one of the best years ever at the park doing so much for so many in so many ways and reaching out to all.
The trips at home and away during ’23 have all reached new levels with an ever increasing number travelling around all over Ireland and worldwide, all set to continue and indeed be extended in ’24.
The latest foreign trip to beautiful tropical Madeira just a couple of weeks ago was quite simply amazing. Those who travelled loved it, all asking where to, in ‘24. Watch this space.
Just last Saturday it was a day trip with a full coach to lovely Galway for its famous Christmas markets. What a day of fun happiness and enjoyment. The sing song on the coach home lasted from Galway to Hospital.
