- Having a celebration on Friday the 14th of June, with mass on the school grounds alongside displays etc. in the school.
- As a school, we wish to do something which will leave a mark in the school, to celebrate 150 Years. In this regard, we have decided to develop our garden area as an outdoor space, which all classes will have access to. It is hoped that we will raise some funds through an ‘I Donate’ page and carry out these works in 2024/25.
