A BIG THANK YOU! To All Our Pupils, Parents & Staff

We have all made it through another year together and what a year it has been! We would like to thank you all most sincerely for all your continued support and input throughout the year, it is this connection that puts us in the best position possible to support all our boys.

This week we held our graduation ceremony for our 6th Class boys. It was a very special evening for all involved and a great way to end the year. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our 6th Class pupils the very best as their journey with us comes to an end and they begin an exciting new chapter in their lives. For some families this also means the end of their journey with us as a family too and so again we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done for and contributed to the school over those years ensuring that Midleton CBS Primary has grown and strengthenedas acommunity.

To all our boys we would like to say a very big thank you for always going the extra mile and trusting us when we told you all you could do it! This term saw so many wonderful events that make for the best of memories for us all ….school tours, picnics, woodland adventures, splash days, sports days, creative school’s workshops, multicultural day, teacher’s vs students events and lots and lots of treats. The corridors have been full of fun and laughter. Well doneboys, youaretheBEST!

Last but not least a immense thank you has to go to our INCREDIBLE staff. It is a privilege to work with such a dedicated and hardworking team of people who are always looking for new ways to enhance the learning environment here at Midleton CBS Primary.

At the end of May we held our annual Multicultural Day. This is a very special occasion that provides the opportunity to appreciate the many cultures of our school community. The 30 plus nationalities of our student body makes for a very vibrant and diverse celebration indeed!

Among the events organised was ‘Wear your Colours’ where pupils were invited to wear their traditional dress,the colours of their national flag or those of another country of choice. The result was colourful display of attire proudly worn byone and all.

The boys of 1st and 2nd classes enjoyed multilingual storytelling sessions hosted by pupils from Múinteoir Lucy’s 5th Class. Our dual language library provides books in a variety of languages along with the English translations.

Stories read on the day included those in Polish, Spanish, Croatian and Lithuanian.

In the run-up to the event, the boys had been busily preparing creative homework pieces about the many countries of our school community.

Submissions included traditional cooked/baked foods, poster projects, pieces of artwork, 3D models etc. They produced a wonderful collection of work which was displayedinthehallfor allto admire.

Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the day was our multicultural experience event in the hall where pupils had the opportunity to visit themed stalls from around the world. It was lovely to see so many parents and families come along in person to showcase their cultures with cooking, music, traditional dress, cultural artefacts and more! We were overwhelmed with the generosity shown by families in sending in such a range of traditional foods for the boys to enjoy and making the day so special. We look forward to doing it all again next year!
