We held a ceremony outside at the flag pole. Ms. Dunphy read out the original Proclamation of 1916, followed then by Ella Raising the flag, with 5th class playing the National Anthem on tin whistle. After that, Ellie-Jo Kavanagh read out our schools Proclamation for a New Generation written by 5th class on behalf of all the staff and student of St. Gabriel's. The ceremony ended with all the staff and children of St. Gabriel's singing our National Anthem. It was a beautiful ceremony and one we hope the children will always remember.
