News of the brilliant Johnstown girls has travelled far and wide so the Minister for Education and Skills just had to come and see for herself. On Thursday 1st October, Minister Jan O'Sullivan came to visit our school and the girls gave her a great welcome. Mary made the girls lovely ribbons to wave as she arrived and then we listened to the Minister tell us about her job. Everybody gave a great cheer when she told us we could have a night off homework. Later the girls were still enjoying the pretty ribbons when some of them decided to wear them in their hair while we were painting.
