Baking Competition June 2020

We had an unbelievable influx of entries for our St Pius X baking competition. The standard was so high that it was very difficult for our resident baking expert Rhona and her daughter Jess to choose the winners.

Thanks to all the children and adults that took part. We hope you had loads of fun baking your creations and eating them afterwards!

Well done to all bakers on all the fabulous competition entries but there could only be 8 winners…two from each category. And the 4 winners from the Girls School were:

Olivia – Ms. Godson Sr. Infants

St. Pius X G.N.S. performed at Navan Choral Festival in May 2019. They sang “For the Beauty of the Earth” by John Rutter and “Stand Together” by Jim Papoulis. We’d like to share this memory with you now because it was one of our proudest moments and because the lyrics of each are so special and appropriate for these times. Enjoy!
