St. Peter's Primary Bray Blog

Welcome to our weekly online newsletter – the St. Peter’s Post! We’ve quite a short edition this week – but we’ve an excellent excuse!

We’ve a big week ahead however, and we can’t wait to show off our newly decorated corridor. We have lots of big news though this week – it was a great week for us! Here are the week’s headlines: We...

If things have been a little quiet on the blogging and tweeting front this week… I think you’ll forgive us! Every class, teacher and staff member has been working hard on putting together our brand new website! And here it is… www.stpetersbray.ie!

Hold onto your hats – we’ve a flood of posts for you this week! It may have been a slow traffic week on the roads, but it certainly hasn’t been on the blog. We think it might be the busiest week yet.
