We were delighted to see the commencement yesterday of the construction of the new pedestrian crossing on Main St (opposite the chapel). This instalment will be of huge importance to our school, allowing parents to use the adjacent car park and cross safely to and from our entry points with their children.

The creation of the new pedestrian crossing stems back to late 2023/early 2024 when initial meetings took place with the DFI. Our local Sinn Féin MLA Cathy Mason along with Councillor Oonagh Hanlon and Councillor Róisin Howell have been instrumental in seeing the process through to where we are at now. Similarly we place on record our thanks to past parents Frank and Sue Spence for all the work that they put into building the case for this development. Not to forget our children who strongly advocated for this new instalment along with our parents!

We as a school community look forward to the completion of the project and the essential use that we will get out of the new pedestrian crossing.
