The day began as the Year 6/7 pupils welcomed the Senator on his arrival with a Guard of Honour. Mrs Mc Mullan accompanied by the school Head Boy Luke O’Rourke and Head Girl Brieanna Evans greeted the Senator and his wife with a warm welcome. They were then introduced to the teaching staff and the Chief Executive of SEELB Mr Gregory Butler and the Chief Executive of CCMS Mr Jim Clarke as well as the Chair of the Board of Governors Mr Niall Addis.
