Bereavement at our school

It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of one of our dear friends.
As a mark of respect at this tragic time Master Mc Sweeney has decided to close the school for a week as a mark of respect. Classes will return on Monday 27th of May.
Master Mc Sweeney has requested that the students who were due to attend the black belt class tomorrow please join us at the usual time of 11:00 along with their parents.
