What a fantastic day we had today with the brilliant 5th and 6th class students of Scoil Mhuire Newcastle. They were so engaging and interested in everything and learned life saving skills and how to find and look up their eircode and give their eircode to the emergency services using the phonetic alphabet to avoid confusion in an emergency .We really enjoyed the day and we were very proud to be able to donate an AED and Cabinet to the school afterwards,this was made possible by the generousity of the community to our fundraisers for which we are always so grateful.Best of luck to the 6th Class in their new schools in September and to the new 6th class in Scoil Mhuire ..still can't believe ye are taking a halfday on Weds and not staying on until Friday 😂😂...only joking ...Happy holidays guys and thanks for having us .Newcastle CFR af the ❤️ of your community.
