📸 A Lovely Moment Captured

A special mention goes to a beautiful photo taken on the day — a little snap of siblings, cousins, teachers’ sons with members of our Orienteering Team, all together at Tramore Valley Park.
It was a wonderful reminder of the community spirit, family connections, and support that surround our pupils on days like this.
