As part of Literacy Week (24th–28th February 2025), screenwriter Peter Salisbury visited our sixth classes through the Writers in Schools scheme. During the workshop, students explored storytelling and created their own film script scenes.

We are delighted to announce that our Book Fair was our most successful yet, raising over €2,300 in free books for our school. We extend our sincere gratitude to all who attended and supported this event, your generosity and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated and will have a lasting impact on our school community.

In our Reading Partners sessions, sixth-class students paired with fourth class, and fifth-class students with third, to share and enjoy their favorite books.

Finally, as part of our Poet-Tree competition, students showcased their creativity by writing short poems on leaves, based on the theme of nature. Congratulations to our winners, pictured below!

A massive congratulations to our boys GAA football team who were crowned champions in Croke Park on Tuesday the 22nd of October. The boys had to fight for the win as they faced an incredibly talented group of boys from Gaelscoil Shliabh Rua.

The boys showed grit and determination and played together as a team to get over the line and take the trophy ( Corn Seatrún Céitinn) home. Well done everyone, a day we will never forget.

Over the last few weeks, 3rd and 4th class pupils took part in the Martin Boland writing competition. Lots of time and effort went into writing stories based on this year’s theme of ‘kindness’. Today, all pupils were given a prize in the form of a medal while the winners from each class and the overall winners were awarded trophies. Huge thank you to Martin & Elizabeth Boland for sponsoring the event in memory of their son, Martin.

On Thursday 25th of April, we held a variety show with performances taking place at 5pm and 7pm. A huge amount of talent was on show, including comedians, dancers, singers, guitar players, piano players, poetry recitals and taekwondo performances. We were also treated to a performance by our hosts, Niamh and Mr. Heneghan and concluded with a fantastic performance of the Matilda the Musical Medley by our school choir. Well done to all involved, especially Mr. Dignam, Ms. O’Sullivan and Ms. Duggan for organising and to all staff who helped out on the evening. 

Have a look at some photos from our dress rehearsal performance below, which included a surprise performance from a past pupil, Bradley Marshall!
