This year 6th class set about writing a school anthem that would hopefully capture everything that the school is about - a difficult task given all the great initiatives that take place. With the help of Ms. Hartnett we brainstormed many verses on different themes like sport, music, art, inclusivity and history. There were many quality verses that were sifted through and taken apart to fit in with other verses. Slowly but surely an anthem began to emerge and with the musical expertise of Ms. Boyle we began to practice singing our school anthem. Finally, we the help of Pierce O’Donnell, we recorded the school anthem on June 11th 2019. Please take a listen to the anthem below - A school anthem written for the children by the children.N
School Anthem
Verse 1
We started off in juniors, now we’re here
today
We didn’t know each other, now friends we’ll
always be
To help us on this journey, by making learning
fun
Together we go further singing out our song .
Chorus

These
are the places that you want to be,
Presentation, De la Salle, Academy
Working
together, where dreams come true
Ní neart
go cur le cheile, St. Brigid’s is for you
Verse 2
Playing for our school team, winning is our
way,
We put on that jersey, It brightens up the day
Learning to be who we are, everyday feels new.
So raise your voice, let’s rejoice: St.
