Preparation for Gorey St. Patrick’s Day parade, Sunday 16th March:
This year the parade’s theme is ‘Festival Music’ and to kick-start the preparations for the school’s entry Music Workshops have been organised. Jennifer Byrne, a local musician, will work with the children over the next few weeks getting ‘back to basics’ with music. The music workshops are being funded in part by the PTA and donations. Extra funds will be needed for this school community project and we are currently looking at ways to meet this.
