New Beginnings

Dear parents/guardians,

Today marks the end of our Christmas Performances for 2025!


The children have been amazing, the staff have been amazing and you, our families, have been amazing.

The 'Community/Christmas Spirit' is at an all time high in Bessbrook!

On behalf of the staff of St. Joseph's P.S. Bessbrook, I would like to wish you all a very 'Happy and Peaceful Christmas!' 

Yours,                                                               

Mr. Michael Doran
