Today was a very special day in St. Declan’s. We had our flag raising ceremony for proclamation day. The sun shone brightly as all the boys and girls gathered outside with all the staff.

The Students Council carried the flag up through the Guard of Honour which was made up from all the children in classes third to sixth.

Gracjan from Room 24 6th class and Zara from Room 29 Junior Infants got to raise the flag as they are the oldest and youngest child in the school.

We then had a child from each of the fifth classes and sixth classes to read out the Proclamation. The children were Mia, Dalin, Johanna, Neil and Cormac.

We all finished the ceremony singing Amhran Na Bhfiann

We had a special visit from Alan Tobin and Tola Collier to finish off a very special day in St Declan’s.
