We had an ‘egg-citing’(🥚🍫😅) time in the staffroom today as there was lots of Easter fun (And treats!🐣) A big thanks to Ms Ciara Doyle and the FCJ Social Committee who ran a bumper competition for staff this week👏 There was a very chocolatey hamper up for grabs, as well as three surprise boxes🎁 The problem was though, that one of the boxes had a less desirable prize than the others! After having a great laugh and filling themselves with sweet treats the teachers headed back to class in great form!😁![]()

Following this, a few great pictures from the final of the Wexford Post Primary LGFA competition that FCJ won during the week📸 Well done to all of the panel and the management. It’s a great sign for the sporting future of our school. A tremendous game of end-to-end football was put on display with FCJ running out winners by a three point margin on a scoreline of 3-10 to 5-1. We had a slender lead of one point at the half-time interval and we extended this to eight points at one stage in the second half. However, Loreto Wexford never gave in and reduced the margin to just two points in the closing stages but we held on to win the title for the second year in a row🥇🥳![]()
