Scoil Mocheallóg marked Proclamation Day by having a concert with all things Irish! Classes participated by either singing, dancing or playing musical instruments, and one class even performed the Haka as Gaeilge! Two classes read out their respective ‘Proclamation for a New Generation’, a proclamation written by the students for 2016.
Jane Moroney visited Scoil Mocheallóg for the celebrations and brought information and memorabilia about her father who was active in the War of Independence. A native of Kilmallock, he is buried in our local cemetery.
Following the concert was a flag-raising ceremony, where the tricolour was raised, the original proclamation read and the National Anthem was sung by all students of Scoil Mocheallóg.
Later in the day, to end the events, the students from 3rd to 6th class had an open air céilí in their school playground.
