Next Friday 1 March the school will celebrate the Feast of St Kieran alongside Carnevale celebrations. Carnevale is an Italian word derived from the Latin carnem (meat) and levare (remove), corresponding to English "carnival". It is a traditional Christian celebration which marks the beginning of Lent, the period of 40 days before Easter during which no meat is eaten. As the school will be closed on Shrove Tuesday (the last day before Lent begins) Father Wilson suggested we combine Carnevale with St Kieran Day and celebrate on Friday 1st of March.

The day will begin with a whole school Mass at 9am. Fun activities have been planned throughout the day including a bouncy castle at Adventure. Students are encouraged to wear FRESS DRESS for a gold coin donation. All money raised will go to Caritas – Projection Compassion.
