HUGE thanks are due to all the children who brought in shoeboxes for the 2015 Shoebox appeal.

These shoe boxes were lovingly wrapped and full of carefully chosen presents which are sure to delight the girls and boys who will be incredibly happy to receive them.

Ms McElheron is currently on leave but even without her we managed to collect a fabulous 107 shoeboxes for needy children. This could not have been done without Sue and Catherine who stepped in and organised this year’s efforts. They were simply amazing this year in coordinating the appeal in our school and worked tirelessly to make sure we kept up the usual high standard.

Sandra from Team Hope spoke to us at assembly and thanked us all for our shoeboxes. If you were not part of this year’s collection or are unsure of what the appeal is about log on to

and join us next year ! They’re now gone from the school and making their way to children around the world.

In 1974 it was decided that City Quay Boys School and Townsend St. Girls School should amalgamate. A new school was constructed in the site of the old Boys School, which was originally built in the late 19th century. This project was co-funded by the Department of Education and The Mercy Sisters. The school, as we know it today, opened its doors on September 1st 1977. Today the school continues to be a vibrant place where local and international pupils are welcomed and valued.
