Catholic Schools Week. Monday.

Today we started to celebrate the beginning of Catholic Schools Week. Today’s theme was Living Tradition. Pupils from Junior Infants to 2nd class explored how we belong in our school. We  recalled our favourite Bible stories ..... Zacchaeus and the boy Jesus lost in the temple. We spoke about our favourite prayer and we wrote it out. We then concluded with a prayer. 
 

The pupils in the senior room explored the theme of dignity and it’s meaning. We prayed for ourselves and our school community and we learnt Pope Francis Five Finger Prayer. 

Looking forward to Catholic Schools Week 2019.

Shrone N.S. are looking forward to Catholic Schools Week 2019. 

Visit from Bishop Ray Browne.

This morning we were honoured to welcome Bishop Ray Browne to Shrone N.S. It is exactly 16 years since a Bishop visited our school. 

We spoke to him about the themes of Catholic School Week.... Living Traditions, Welcoming Diversity, Grandparents Day, In-service to the Community and Supporting Faith. 

In keeping with tradition we showcased some of our Sliabh Luachra talent. Junior and Senior Infants performed a poem and older pupils performed a three hand reel and a half set. Padraig played the accordion to accompany them. 

We concluded with a little prayer service and a blessing from the Bishop. 

Nativity Play.

On Sunday 23rd December the pupils in Shrone N.S. performed the Christmas pageant in Shrone church. Well done to all involved. 

Christmas play.

On Friday 14th Dec we held our Christmas play. The play was written and directed by Diarmuid Coakley. It was titled “The Day after Christmas”. 

The pupils were brilliant and they looked amazing. 

Our thanks to the parents for providing costumes, props and treats. Our thanks to everyone who supported the play especially the grandparents and the extended family. 

We also want to thank Elish Coakley (Rathmore Panto) for providing us with some costumes and props. 

We want to extend our thanks to Ms.Ryan for designing and drawing the backdrop and to all pupils in the senior room who painted it.
