Pupils, Parents and Staff, both past and present, gathered together at the Heath National School on Friday 17th June to celebrate the official opening of the new school building. School Principal, Mr. David O' Brien spoke of the huge effort and hard work that had brought about these wonderful new facilities. Fr. Paddy Byrne opened proceedings with a blessing before the ceremonial ribbon was cut by the youngest (Lucy O' Connell)and oldest pupil (Daniel Daly) in the school. The celebrations continued with the raising of the school's newly acquired green flag by the members of the green schools committee alongside their teacher Ms. Róisín Ging. Also on display was a beautiful mural, painted by past pupil Aisling Hennessy, representing a year in the life of the Heath N.S. Finally, Deputy Principal, Michael Dowling presented a time capsule which is to be buried on the school grounds for the next 50 years. The capsule contains a number of photographs and personal mementos from each class which are sure to be of interest to the pupils of the Heath School in 2066! a huge word of thanks to the Parents Council who provided refreshments on the day, and for their continued help and support over the last number of years.
