Happy Days @ Home!
Dear Parents and Students,
Due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, Happy Days Classes are closed and will return once it is safe to do so. We are planning, all going well that classes will resume in September and we will continue to follow the HSE guidelines in Happy Days School of Performing Arts and we are monitoring the situation closely. Please be assured any classes missed will be made up.
To help support our Happy Days Students and to keep in touch, we have created Happy Days @ Home! A fun filled page with lots of optional Fun Activities for our Happy Days Students!
We hope you enjoy them and keep well.
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
Welcome to our Happy Days @ Home Youtube videos!
Please see below for our latest resources to help us stay connected!
