Dear Parents, Guardians and Pupils
Our school year for 2019/2020 has come to an end and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for doing so well during this last term in particular. It was obviously a very different (and sometimes difficult) way to “attend” school and engage with your teacher, but you all tried your best so well done.
By now you will all have received your school reports. I was very glad to see in the reports that teachers were full of praise of all pupils in their positive attitude to work and school.
During the holidays make sure you get lots of exercise outdoors. It is very important to get plenty of fresh air each day. Remember also during the holidays to read some books and take time to do lots of fun activities outdoors.
It was lovely to see the boys from 6th Class on Tuesday. They each received a school hoodie so that they will remember the school and their teachers with fond memories. I have watched the “Goodbye to 6th Class” video and I must say it was quite emotional seeing the clips of all the boys and teachers wishing each other the best of luck. You can see this video by following the link below. Congratulations to all the boys on finishing their Primary School Education. It was our great pleasure to have had you attend St. Michael’s BNS. We all wish you the very best of luck!
Congratulations to our Michael Hayden Pupil of the Year Award winner for 2020
This years winner is Darren, well deserved for a great young man,

Creative Schools
Well done to all who participated in the Creative Schools Project. In the school, we had a talk about river life for the senior classes and art classes for all. It was great that we had learned some skills and thought about our environment before the school had to close down. We are so proud of all of you for creating such beautiful work – the pictures, the colours, the facts, the stories and the poetry. It is wonderful to see what you can do at home. With the help of Kiera, our Creative Schools Associate, we have put together an online book which we can display on our website. We hope that you enjoy seeing your own work and the work of many other boys. On our return to school, we hope to display this work in the school. This is a record of how it was for us during the long school closure and of all the wonderful things we noticed in our environments. Have a great summer! Mrs. Sorohan Read Volume 1 here...........
