Today is Le Chéile Day, a special day where we celebrate the ethos and values of the Le Chéile Schools Trust. The trust was formed in 2009 when the Holy Faith Sisters, along with several other religious congregations, joined together to continue their mission in education.

This year’s theme is ‘Spreading Kindness in Le Chéile Schools’, reminding us of the importance of compassion, respect, and community in our school . Well done to the prefect Ethos Committee for playing a key role in celebrating the day.
