The new Board of Management is now in place and held its first meeting in December.
The composition of the Board is given elsewhere on this site.
The school is very much indebted to all who agreed to serve on the Board, and wishes to record its thanks to the members of the previous Board.
Table Tennis
The school's table tennis club is now up and running, and great progress is being reported.
The club meets under parental supervision in Crosspatrick Hall on Thursday nights, 7.30-8.45.
Refurbishment continues
Over the last couple of years the Board of Management has embarked on an ambitious refurbishment scheme at the school. This has involved the installation of state-of the-art computer equipment; overhauling the bathrooms; attic- and wall-insulation; external lighting; the purchase of new goals and nets for our playing field; reroofing the school; and laying down a new tarmacadam surface around the school.
During the Easter break the Board of Management continued this work and availed of the opportunity presented by the good weather to have the exterior of the school painted. A new gate has also been erected. The work was 50/50 funded from the school's own resources and from a generous donation from the Crosspatrick Community Shop, to whom we are most grateful.
During the summer holidays all the carpets were cleaned professionally. In addition, the parents voluntarily carried out internal painting work: very many thanks to all who participated.
