A wonderful celebration of the work undertaken by the boys of St. Mary's Boys' School relating to the Blue Star Programme was held recently at the school. Seán Kelly MEP was welcomed by the junior pupils with the "European Handshake" which celebrates EU diversity, inclusivity and integration. The senior boys then presented various projects which they had completed on EU countries along with some tasty food associated with these countries which they had been busy preparing prior to the visit. Seán outlined his role as an MEP for the boys as well as explaining to them how the different mechanisms of EU governance operate. A lively question and answer session followed before a well deserved cupán tae for Seán in the staffroom. A most enjoyable day was had by all and we extend a "míle buíochas" to Seán for making time for St. Mary's in his busy schedule.
