Singing Star

Congratulations to Caragh, who was chosen to sing in the Christmas Carol Service in the Cathedral, which took place on Tuesday. The Cavan Singers, Symphonia Orchestra, and choirs from St Pats, Loreto College, Breifne College and the Royal School, all took part in this wonderful concert. The cathedral was full to capacity. Caragh sang 'Silent Night' accompanied by the organist, and she was absolutely brilliant. Well done Caragh.

We were fundraising for St Vincent de Paul, to raise money to help the less fortunate in our community. 3rd 4th 5th and 6th classes all  took part, and altogether we raised over 900euro. Lots of our parents came along to support us. A big thank you to everyone who stood to watch us, and to everyone who put money in our buckets.
