Fifth and Sixth Class June Assembly
Mr Kearins
Welcome here today to our last assembly for the year. First of all I want to say thank you to everyone in St. Declan’s ….. the staff, the parents and of course all of you for making me feel so welcome during my first year here as principal. I’m so happy to be a part of St. Declan’s school community and I hope we have lots of good years ahead. We remember all the good times we had this year with our teachers and friends in St. Declan’s. We look forward to our Summer holidays spent with our families and to coming back refreshed and relaxed for a new school year in September.
