St. Patrick’s Classical school participated in the National Flag Day today. The Thomas F. Meagher Foundation was established in 2013 to promote pride and respect for the Irish flag.
We celebrated the day with:
· Lessons in History classes on the Irish Flag
· A tutor time quiz
· A student led school address on the history of the Flag
· A flag raising ceremony
Thank you all the students involved especially Mr Ronan O Reilly and 1C who helped organise many of the activities.
A special thank you to:
