A suitably rousing send-off for our principal, Mr. Paddy Scales, as he completed his last day after over 41 years in education in Banagher. The ovation was one of many memorable moments over the last few days as staff and students marked his highly successful tenure at BCCNS
Banagher College student Daniel spoke eloquently and with his unique combination of charm and humour at The Beyond Limits 19 Summit in Croke Park. We are very proud of you Daniel.
