Week 17

Friday 17th January 2025

Thankfully, the weather was much milder this week, but unfortunate circumstances yesterday, meant there was no heating or hot water in school. We were left with no option but to close, which believe me, was not an easy decision to make!. We appreciate the work of EA Maintenance to ensure all was in order for pupils to return today.  Parents/Carers, thank you for your understanding.

We commend our Senior Students who have been so committed to their studies with a range of A Level Examinations occurring this week and last. They deserve the highest praise, and we wish them well in their final results.

It will be a busy few weeks for Year 10 as they reflect and consider GCSE Subject Options in preparation for Year 11.  Yesterday they joined their counterparts in Cookstown High School to work with U-Formation under the guidance of Pat Jamison and interactive career planning.  We appreciate Pat giving his time to work with our young people.

We wish Errigal Ciaran the very best of luck in the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Final tomorrow, and particularly to our staff members from Ballygawley and their families who are involved. They have had a brilliant campaign to date.

Sunday 19th marks the start of Catholic Schools Week with the theme: Alive in Christ.  

We are looking forward to meeting our Primary 7 pupils on Tuesday and then Open Day next Friday.  It’ll be a busy week but worth it!

Have a great weekend

Isabel Russell

Principal
