• Being the best!

  Thu 26 Feb 2015
  We have been making a huge effort with our behaviour at lunchtime and Mr Mc Taggart was delighted to give out the lunchtime awards today.
  We were very impressed with the achievements of our children- especially those at Golftastic in our school.
  

  

• Grandparents day

  Mon 02 Feb 2015
  As part of Catholic Schools week, we were delighted to invite our grandparents into school on Wednesday to enjoy a cup of tea and an insight into school life. We were amazed by the terrific turn-out, particularly on such a cold and frosty day, and we trust that our grandparents enjoyed it as much as the children enjoyed seeing them.
  Pictured below are children from P3K who made special cards for their grandparents, complete with poems written by themselves.
  

  

• Bank of Ireland presentation by Jude Mc Gloin

  Mon 02 Feb 2015
  On Wednesday 28^th of January 2015, two representatives from Bank Of Ireland came to see us boys and girls from the St Bernard’s Primary 7 classes.
   
  They talked to us about how we could open a bank account at the age of 10 and that they could do it there and then. They had a powerpoint presentation which made it easier for us to understand. We learnt how we would be able to take money out of an ATM Machine whenever we wanted. We were told about how the money goes through the process of getting put into our accounts. We learnt about how we would each have our own PIN number and that we should never tell anyone, particularly someone who we think might hack into it. We learnt how the ATM machines work. Thankfully we were told that BOI rarely gets robbed and that money is in very safe hands because of the fact that you need your own card to actually get into the main business area. At the end we got to do a word scramble, which was a lot of fun.  We were very pleased when we all got our own goody bags with some BOI goodies and a FREDDO.
   
  We all really enjoyed our morning with the two representatives from BOI.
