The arrival of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2024 in Wexford has caused a significant increase in the number of students interested in learning a new instrument at CCÉ Gorey Ballygarrett.
Bunscoil Loreto has become the first primary school to be awarded School of Sanctuary status.
Over the past year, the school was assessed by a team from Places of Sanctuary Ireland and was judged to be outstanding in terms of welcoming and including young people from diverse backgrounds and for spreading the message of sanctuary though the community.
Schools of Sanctuary coordinator Homayoon Shirzad said: Bunscoil Loreto is model to other primary schools in its outstanding and highly creative work to welcome and support children from multiple nationalities that have joined the school and to help build brides of understanding across society.
