We were delighted to have all our students back on site this morning bringing much missed life and laughter back to the building! 1st to 4th Years were treated to an ice cream to mark the occasion (5th & 6th Years were spoiled before Easter!). We look forward to a positive term of learning and reestablishing relationships after a long time operating remotely!

Ramadan 2021

Today, Muslims across the world begin their journey through Ramadan. What is Ramadan? During the month of Ramadan, Muslims don’t eat or drink between dawn and sunset. This is called fasting. Yes not even water... They eat in the morning before the sun comes up and again in the evening when the sun sets. Why is Fasting important? Fasting is important during Ramadan as it allows Muslims to devote themselves to their faith and come closer to Allah. Fasting is one of the five pillars of islam, which form the basis of how Muslims live their lives. The other pillars are faith, prayer, charity and making pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. Ramadan is also a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, doing good deeds and spending time with family and friends. Normally, people will make a special effort to connect with their communities and reach out to people who need help. Does everybody fast? Not everybody fasts during Ramadan. Children, pregnant women, the elderly and those who are ill, or who are travelling, don’t have to fast. What happens at the end of Ramadan? There is a special festival to mark the end of Ramadan. This is called Eid al-Fitr-the festival of the breaking of the fast. It begins when the first sight of the new moon is seen in the sky. To learn more, please watch the following video.

A message from our Chaplain as Holy Week begins...

I don’t know if any of you are feeling it too, but as we approach Holy Week I am feeling a little unprepared. I really missed attending church services during Lent when I would usually reflect with my community on the Easter message. I am feeling a little soul-weary after months of winter, darkness and a lack of social interaction. But perhaps this isn’t such a bad way to enter Holy Week – tired and unprepared, hungry for a new beginning, eager for the light to shine in the darkness. Even if, like me, you feel you haven’t quite lived into the penitential season of Lent, it’s not too late to begin walking toward resurrection morning. In the link below there is a prayer for each day of Holy Week. You are invited to take a moment each day to reflect on a thought for the day and the hope of the Resurrection to come. I wish you all a very happy and safe Easter. I look forward to the whole school community returning after the holidays. Caitriona Coyne Holy Week: olschool.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Holy-Week.pdf
