St Peter’s Post #23
Welcome to another edition of our online weekly newsletter – the St Peter’s Post! This week, we’ve been looking forward to the next few weeks – 2nd and 6th class are preparing for Communion and Confirmation and we’ve started recruiting for the choir for the Communion ceremony. We were also very busy on Twitter this week!
The main headlines from this week are:

- Over the weekend, nine of our 5th and 6th class students took part in the Leinster finals of Mathletes (expect a post early on Monday morning) the boys were fantastic representatives of the school and we were really proud of them!
