Le Chéile Day – Caring in Our Community

March 5, 2026

 

On March 4th, our school celebrated Le Chéile Day with this year’s theme: Caring in Our Community. Students and staff marked the day with a series of thoughtful and uplifting activities:

  • 1st Years shared key words that represent caring in our community. Their wonderful contributions are now displayed proudly on the Le Chéile board.
  • Ms. Doyle’s 2nd Year class spread kindness by handing out cards encouraging everyone to carry out a good deed.
  • Ms. MacLennon’s TY group created beautiful handmade cards for the convent, a gesture greatly appreciated.
  • Ms. Hyland organised some lovely treats for the staff, adding to the positive spirit of the day.
  • It was also decided that no homework would be assigned, giving students space to reflect on the importance of care and community.
  • Amelia (5th-year student) read the following reflection for the school community:

One Small Act Can Change Everything
One tree can start a forest.
One smile can begin a friendship;
One hand can lift a soul;
One word can frame the goal;
One candle can wipe out darkness;
One laugh can conquer gloom;
One hope can raise your spirits;
One touch can show you care;
One life can make the difference,
Be that one today.

A heartfelt thank you to all who helped create such a warm, caring atmosphere in our school.
