During the morning, Ms Higgins met with our international students to speak with them about CEIST and to discuss the rich history of our school and our patron saint. The foyer was adorned with a spectacular St. Brigid’s display created by Ms Cashman for Ceiliúradh CEIST.

In the afternoon, we were privileged to welcome Colin Grehan (sculpture) and Conor Murray (artist) to Our Lady’s. The unveiling of our magnificent sculpture and impressive contour map was a very special event, and the public art installations are a wonderful addition to our school. The large sculpture located at the front of the school celebrates the uniqueness and potential of every human being. The mosaic contained in the upper section of the sculpture places a spotlight on our extra-curricular programme, and it reinforces a strong commitment to achieving quality in teaching and learning.
