We were incredibly lucky to welcome Croatian Ambassador, Mr. Davor Vidiš, Minister Eamon Ryan, Senator Pippa Hackett and Cllr Mark Hackett to our school on Friday, May 10th, as recognition for our work on the Blue Star Programme, Green Schools and Safe Routes to School. They praised all of the great work being done across the school in these areas and spoke to the children about their work!
