At St. Fiach’s NS, we celebrated our Proclomation Day on Monday March 14th 2016. As part of the celebrations, our students performed ‘A Triumph of All Sorts’, a play by Damien White. The play described the main events of The 1916 Rising including the historic reading of the Proclamation. We also had some wonderful instrumental, singing and Irish dancing performances on show. Well done to all our fantastic students. A big thank you to Seán McCabe for his display on the day. Special thanks to all our teachers, especially Ms. McKenna, Mr. Farrell and Dr. Bennett, for orchestrating the event.
After the play we held our flag raising ceremony at the school. Special thanks to Frank and Seán O’Meara for raising the flag. Frank is the grandfather of three of our students: Lucy,Kelly and Amy. It was a great honour to have these two men attend our event. In 1985 they wrote the lyrics for the very popular song ‘Grace’ which was sung beautifully by Caitlin and Jules during the play.
An event like this wouldn’t be possible without the assistance of our wonderful Parent’s Association. They provided refreshments for everyone in the hall and the school. Thanks to Seamus for the use of the Community Centre. Thank you to all who attended our special events. We hope you enjoyed your day. Please enjoy our gallery below:
