Our 1916 Flag Raising Ceremony, March 15th 2016

It was a proud day for all of us all in St. Brigid's on the 15th of March 2016. At 12 noon we came together as a school to remember the men and women who were involved in the 1916 Rising and to raise our national flag.

​Ms. Burke spoke to all of the children and staff about the reason we were celebrating and about the importance of the day. Two 3rd class girls who were celebrating their birthdays -Grace from Room 10 and Abbie from Room 1, raised the flag.  Holly from R15 read aloud the special proclamation that was created jointly by Ms. Moran and Ms. Devlin's class. This was most impressive and very relevant to the Ireland we live in today.

Then we raised our flag and we sang our National Anthem. A terrific end to a marvellous celebration. A huge well done to all !
