1916 Commemoration Day

On Tuesday, the 16th of March we celebrated the centenary anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising in St Peter and Paul's. We had been eagerly learning all the details of the Rising and we proudly sang our national anthem as the Irish flag was raised in the garden beside the school. Creative writing, poetry and music were enjoyed from the various class levels as an expression of our rich cultural heritage.  We were extremely proud of Maria Antonia Mateies from our class. Maria read aloud her acrostic poem based on the word 'Pearse' after the great Irish leader. Well done Maria on a fantastic job!!

Ready to join in the celebrations! 

Well done Maria!
