  Dear Parents & Guardians,

  It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you of the death of one of our P5 pupils. Jayden passed away yesterday at the Children's Hospice after a long battle with cancer 😔
  Jayden was due to begin P6 in September, and bring his cheery disposition and wonderful sense of humour with him. His passing is a huge loss to his friends, his year group, and the entire school community.
  Please keep in your prayers Jayden's parents, Amber and Colin, his younger brother Kailen and the entire family circle 🙏❤️

  Funeral arrangements to follow. 

  Can I ask if any children attending the funeral service that they do so in their St Malachy's school uniform as a mark of respect for Jayden 💚🖤

  May he rest in Peace 🙏 

  Mr Rafferty & Staff xxx
