Here we have our own players Conor Graham and David Graham with the winning cups!!

Well done boys- we are very proud of you.

This also ties in with our active schools drive where children take part in sports outside of school.

We had a presentation of prizes from the Tip O’Neill competition on Friday.

Winners from our school were as follows:

3rd place went to Eimear Graham and Cillian Doherty

Highly commended went to Aileen Gallagher.

Well done to our winners and well deserved for all your hard work!!!

(Children from other schools attended to receive their prizes)

 Our school also received a €100 book voucher which was great!

The boys had great fun making scones and even better fun eating them!

We have recently set up a student council in our school-our committee will meet once a week and discuss any matters arising-the council will strive to encourage a good school spirit of co-operation, understanding and mutual respect between staff and pupils.

A student council is a representative structure for students only, through which they can become involved in the affairs of the school,working in partnership with school management, staff and parents for the benefit of the school and its students.

Chairperson-Calum Mc Eleney(2nd)

Deputy chairperson- Sean Bradley(6th)

Secretary-Karina Barkauskaite(3rd)

Treasurer- Nicola Ms Daid(5th)

This year the school is holding a Christmas Craft Fair in the school hall in aid of school funds.

We hope the  craft fair will include Christmas crafts, Christmas cakes and home-baking, knitted goods, Christmas cards and loads of other Christmas gifts and goodies.

It is hoped the school children will provide cards, crafts etc. We would be very grateful for donations of Christmas baking,( eg fruit cakes, cookies, cupcakes), knitted goods etc.  

We will be holding a raffle ‘Guess the weight of the Christmas cake’!

Tea and hot mince pies,  hot chocolate with marshmallows and a Christmas cookie  will be on offer to warm you all up on cold winters evening.

Recently we have been  putting up art displays in the school hall. They feature a wide array of artwork from students throughout all of the classrooms.

The Infant Room

The Infant Room have been working on self portraits to tie in with them learning about themselves and their body parts and families, in SPHE and Science.

The Middle Room

The Middle Room have been working on still life drawings. They each had to partner up and paint a portrait of each other. They all had to work in pairs and co-operate in order to get the portraits done.

The Senior Room

The Senior Room have been focusing on ‘Friendship Trees’ – in which they use their finger prints, dipped in paint, to represent one leaf of a tree. This ties in with SPHE, in which they learned about friendship. The artwork shows that they are all unique, but that they stem from one common place, as the individual leaves come together to make one common tree.

Our school is now due to commence work on the theme  ‘Energy’ – this will be an on-going programme over the 2 year renewal period.

What is energy?…….power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work machines.

In the 2014/2015 academic year Green-Schools in Ireland saved 15.6 million units of electricity, enough to make 13 million slices of toast!

This school years holidays and important dates are under the heading Calendar.
