STUDENTS, across all years returned to classes at Mayfield Community School in recent days, with first year pupils getting an active welcome to the school.

First-years were among the first students to return to classes, with their transition into post-primary school marked with a fun-filled day on the school’s astro-turf pitch.

Pupils participated in a range of activities including rounders, the standing long jump, hurling, skipping, rowing and basketball.

Mr Ian Farrell, First Year Tutor, said he was delighted to see all the students enjoying themselves and getting the chance to get to know each other.
