School tours, sports days, preparation for our Yellow Flag evaluation, Creating our Diversity Code, Traveller Pride Week, Road bowling, World Refugee Day, YF art winners, 6th Class talent show with Martin Mahon and his rap group .

6th Class Graduation was very special this year. The director of the Irish Traveller Movement and former past pupil of St. Oliver’s Bridget Quilligan was our guest speaker and inspired us all.
