Scór na bPáistí 2013

Comhghairdeas le buachaill ó rang a cúig a bhuaigh an bonn óir i Scór na bPáistí Bhaile Átha Cliath Dé Sathairn seo caite, agus leis an grúpa amhránaíochta a bhuaigh an bonn airgid. Comhbhrón le Rang a Dó - bhí an-míádh orthu gan bonn a bhuachaint. Congratulations to one of our pupils in 5th Class who won the gold medal for solo recitation in the Dublin Finals of Scór na bPáistí last Saturday and to the singing group who won the silver medal. Second Class were very unlucky not to win a medal. All these children had progressed to the Dublin Finals by winning their categories in the Naomh Olaf competition (see below).
