Tuesday 15th March 2016 was Proclamation Day, a day when every school in the country raised our National Flag in commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising. We were joined for the occasion by parents and family members. Tristan, Ella, Elisha and Jimmie Joe had the responsibility of officially raising the Tricolour. Miss Comack and Ms Houston then read the Proclamation of the Irish Republic from 1916. The children in 6th class then read the school’s proclamation that was written by the students to reflect their wishes and hopes in 2016.

Once the flag was flying the Holly, Katie, Eve, Fionn and Ella played a beautiful rendition of ‘Faith of our Fathers’ on their fifes. All the children then sang our national anthem – Amhrán na bhFiann.
The flag raising ceremony was followed by a short drama which was centred around the Rosses in 1916.
There are lots more photographs of this special occasion in our gallery.
