The 2020/21 school year came to a close today as we finished up for our summer holidays.
What a year it has been! A return to face to face teaching followed by a Lockdown and periods of Remote Learning before going back to the classroom in Term 3.
Our children have been magnificent throughout it all. They have faced challenges head on and come out stronger at the other end. A big acknowledgment goes to our parents and family members for their support and partnership during the school year. Gratitude is relayed as well to all those in our school community who continue to assist and support us in any way possible. Let us not forget too the staff of SHPS for their dedication and commitment to the education of our children.
I would like to wish you all a very safe and enjoyable summer break!
Mr Fitzsimons.
This morning our P7 pupils said a fond farewell to Sacred Heart P.S. as their Leavers’ Ceremony took place. It was an emotional yet uplifting event as the Class of 2021 made a memorable exit.
Each child received special individual awards with the Q&A and Leavers’ video productions being particular highlights.
A huge thanks goes to Mr Doyle for all the preparation and work that went into the ceremony. Special praise is also reserved for our classroom assistant Kathleen for her sterling efforts.
To the P7 boys and girls: you have been and were all amazing! We wish you all the very best of luck for the future. Remember, hold dear the memories of here and be proud to say that you went to Sacred Heart P.S.!
It has been a busy week for the boys and girls of Young at Heart.
On Tuesday they attended the SHPS Sports Day medal presentations where they were all given special gold medals in recognition of their participation last week at the event.
Then on Friday they had a Teddy Bear’s Picnic before the big graduation ceremony took place.
Well done to you all!
We would also like to thank Brennan’s shop for their very kind donation of ice cream and drinks. It was greatly appreciated.
Due to the rise in COVID cases in the wider area, tomorrow night's POSH/Dundrum GAC joint fundraising quiz has been postponed. Thank you.
Young at Heart Teddy Bear's Picnic will take place tomorrow at Dundrum Castle (12noon to 2pm).Children to be left and lifted from the castle car park. Lunch will be provided. Parents are welcome to stay.
This afternoon the children of Young at Heart and Sacred Heart P.S. gathered in their bubbles in the school yard for their Sports Day medal presentation.
The effort and enthusiasm of all the children was recognised with the first, second and third place winners given their medals too.
Well done boys and girls!
