  As you can imagine both Mum and Dad are very proud of their achievement especially as they were only 3 ½ when they filmed everything. They spent a week in the Dungeons of Shanes Castle, scary enough for an adult never mind two toddlers!

   

  We, in St. Ita’s are so proud of Logan and Finn and their wonderful acting success at such a young age. To be part of the global phenomenon that is ‘Game of Thrones’ is unbelievable!

   

  Who knows what lies ahead for these two young boys. Hollywood may be calling very soon!

   

  We wish them every success in their future acting careers. Well done boys; you are absolute stars!

• A big Thank You to Mr and Mrs Price

  Mon 04 Mar 2019

  Mr and Mrs Price donate £6,000 to the school- THANK YOU!

   

  We were overwhelmed by the generous contribution made by Mr and Mrs Price, parents of Jake in P2 and the twins, Liam and Ryan in our Nursery.

  The school was able to purchase a class set of 30 chrome books (£4,529.70), the licence for each

  Chrome (£855) and a three year collect and return guarantee (£615.60).

  With our whole school curriculum priority being UICT, specifically desktop publishing and managing data, the chrome books could not have arrived at a better time. Thank you from everyone in our school community.
