Well done and congratulations to over 30 of St. Mary's 5th year students who were presented with their John Paul 11 awards on Thursday 15th November. Bishop Denis presented the awards and congratulated the girls on their committment to involvement in their parish and school communities over the past year. Many thanks to Ms. M Humphreys who mentors the girls in St. Mary's.

Flags, representing different countries of origin for many of our students, were placed on the windows near the school's reception area. Copies of the Equal Status Act, 2014, are visible throughout the school. The Act states that people cannot be disadvantaged because of the following nine factors: gender; civil status; family status; sexual orientation; religious belief; age; disability; race, including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin; and membership of the Traveller community.
The act envisions a fair, inclusive Ireland where human rights and equality are respected, protected and fulfilled for everyone, everywhere. In connection with this act, we celebrate five values this week. They are love, equality, fairness, generosity and inclusivity.
