It gives me great pleasure to welcome the girls and boys of St Brigid’s back to school. I trust that each and every one of you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year; enjoying time spent with family and friends throughout the festive season.

May 2017 be a year of good health, happiness and fulfilment for all those associated with St Brigid’s Primary School.

We would appreciate if you know of any child that the above details apply to and whose parents don’t have access to our weekly note if you would make them aware of these details.
