It was a great occasion with the opening of the new school in Ballycastle. All the speakers mentioned how grateful they were to The Australian Ireland Fund and the Sir Warwick Fairfax Trust. It was fantastic to see all the children together singing “If You’re Happy and You Know It…..”

It was great to see the wonderful accommodation they have for the new school. Small beginnings but a great future ahead! It was so colourful. The parents are clearly ecstatic and delighted to see the opportunities for their children.

Baroness Blood who was a Guest of Honour and two of the pupils at Ballycastle Beach which looks good but very cold at this time of year!

It was also great to hear of the level of local support for the venture with one businessman stopping in to make a donation as he drove by!
