[Oct 17th 21st 11] This week was officially Maths Week
here in St Declans and marks the first of our two
curricular weeks for this year. Maths madness certainly broke out as there
was a huge variety of special activities going on for all classes. The daily
intercom quiz was very popular. The week was a great success, much to the
efforts of all the teachers but in particular to Mrs White who was the brains
behind the whole project.
5.

attendance certificates to all those boys who had full attendance last year.
This is always a very special occasion and he received a great welcome from
all the boys.

[Oct 28th 11] The atmosphere was electric in a crowded hall
this morning and there was a huge air of expectancy and excitement as each of
the winning tickets was drawn in our annual Halloween Fundraising Raffle. Congratulations to all our winners but
especially to Bryan Keane who was the lucky winner of the bike. Thanks to
everyone who supported the raffle. 2594 was raised altogether.

[Nov 18th 11] Our Annual Charity Day was held today in support of
the Eric Butler Appeal and was a no uniform day. 1215 was raised. This was
an incredible response and very much appreciated by all concerned.
