- We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Mass and the Year 6 Tie Presentation on Friday. It was our first experience to see inside of the school and attend Mass due to the pandemic. It was beautiful and meaningful and when we left we felt so refreshed and proud that we had moved our son to St Finian's. The atmosphere of the occasion really made everyone involved feel special. To see our son so happy and growing up in a school that is about giving opportunities and embracing his learning is exactly what we wanted for him. Sept 2022
