As part of the Ceiliúradh celebrations, we were delighted to receive the Leading the Way - Lighting the Way Ceist Lantern from St. Leo's College. This lantern is being passed from school to school. It symbolises our common Ceist values. Pictured are our Doireann, our Head Girl and Aaron, our Head Boy along with Principal, Mr Ray Murray and Deputy Principal, Ms Lorraine Gillespie. We now pass the lantern and all it symbolises for our Ceist community to Presentation De La Salle College Bagenalstown.  

Today is Internet Safety Day! Keep an eye out for the posters and QR codes around the school promoting safe use of the Internet. Webwise.ie has great resources as always on the topic.  STAY COOL- BLOCK THE HATERS is the topic.
