The children of 6th Class made their Confirmation on the 12th June. We were honoured to be joined by the Archbishop Diarmuid Martin on the day. The sun was shining and the children all looked beautiful. The next morning we went to ‘The Pantry’ for breakfast and got our photographs taken in the school.

Now that we have graduated we are looking forward to our summer holidays and making the big move to secondary school in September. Thank you to everyone in Rutland NS for all of your help and support over the years. We are very sad to leave but excited about the future!

Best Wishes,

6th Class

Well done to all of the children in sixth class who held their Service of Light and Enrolement Ceremony today. Everybody took part in their readings and prayers really well. It was great to have our parents, guardians and sponsors involved as well. Now we really can’t wait for our Confirmation day! Big thanks to Father Tim for all of his help today 🙂

6th class worked so hard over the past two weeks in preparation for the recent Christmas Concert. Francesca was really impressed with the talent on display and said that we were one of the best classes that she has ever worked with! Here is a picture of us all during rehersals.

Mr. Cherry’s class have been very busy and active over the last few weeks. We really enjoyed the school Sports Day and had lots of fun. We recently went on a mini-beast hunt in Mountjoy Square Park and found lots of different creatures living there. We also visited the playground beside the park as part of Active Schools Week.
We have finished all of our tests now and we tried really hard. Next week we are going on our school tour to Fort Lucan, it’s going to be so much fun!

The children from 4th and 5th class braved the wintry conditions yesterday and reached the semi-finals of the Lord Mayor’s Cup. Unfortunately they were beaten by St. Laurence O’ Tooles and just missed out on the bronze medal. The boys and girls did the school proud and performed brilliantly in all five events – soccer, penalties, running, basketball and wall-climbing.

We certainly have some fantastic athletes in our school and there’s no doubt we’ll be in the hunt for the medals again next year. The future of sport in Rutland NS is looking extremely bright. Well done to everyone involved!

We’ve had such a busy couple of months here in 4th class. As well as working really hard in class,  we have been playing a lot of chess with 5th class and we are improving every week. We visited a local bank in October, where we told them all about products that we had designed ourselves. We also met the Lord Mayor of Dublin in the Smock Alley Theatre. He is a really nice man! We even had a visit from a maths magician, who showed us some great tricks. Just before Halloween we made some delicious chocolate apples. We had great fun dressing up for the Halloween party and we played some really fun games!
