Summer Holidays

06/07/2026 /

We rounded off our last day of the school year with a final assembly to present attendance awards to those children who have not missed a single day and also to those children who have had excellent attendance. We talked about keeping safe this summer near water and while playing outdoors. We were feeling very happy and sang one of our favourite songs ” Can’t Stop the Feeling”. Some of us even danced our way out!

Wishing you all a very enjoyable and happy Summer break. See you all again on Thursday August 27th at 8:50 AM!

6th Class Graduation

06/07/2026 /

We said good recently to our 6th class pupils with a lovely get together in the hall for themselves and their families. After a few words and some presentations, we shared lunch and a cuppa together and they rounded off the day with our traditional Alleyway of Applause on the school yard.

We wish you well 6th class, don’t forget us!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll DECIDE where to go.
Dr Seuss

 

Awards Assembly- June 22nd

24/06/2026 /

We celebrated the achievements of lots of our pupils on Monday June 22nd with a whole school assembly. Well done to all our Reading Certificate winners from 3rd to 6th classes. Congratulations in particularly to our 6th class students Callum and Tahsin who received special recognition awards for their extensive reading adventures!

Ms Ferguson called out the winners of the Sports Day team competition. Points were awarded to teams based on their listening skills, leadership, cooperation and teamwork. Our Junior and Senior winners were delighted with their specially engraved medals.

Mr Slevin talked about the competitiveness and excitement which surrounded the knockout stages of our annual mini league. Congrats to Team ?? and Team ???, our eventual winners and runners up in a hard fought final.

Ms Kivlehan was supported by members of the Student Council who judged our recent poetry competition. There were winners from every class and 2 overall winners who read their poems for the entire school. Fantastic writing talent on display!

Ukulele Performance

22/05/2026 /

3rd Class marked their last Ukulele lesson with Karl, their Music Generation teacher, with a performance for their parents and the rest of the school. We were so proud of them! They played a wide variety of songs from A Sailor Went to Sea to Waka Waka from Shakira to Sweet Caroline! 

The Music Generation Discovering and Performing Music Programme is a great opportunity to try out an instrument and learn about what it takes to develop music skills. We hope that this has inspired some of our group to go further with their ukulele skills or maybe even take up another instrument.

Thank you to their teachers Ms Walsh, Ms Golden and Ms Gray for their support on the Ukulele adventure. 

Cheering on Cian and Jordan

08/05/2026 /

Today some of our classes walked to O’Boyle Park to cheer on the FTD brothers, Cian and Jordan as they began their Sligo leg of 32 marathons in Ireland in 32 days. 50% of all funds raised will go to The Alzheimer Society of Ireland, supporting families living with dementia. Read about their incredible story here on Ocean FM: https://www.oceanfm.ie/news/ftd-brothers-pass-1m-goal-ahead-of-sligo-marathon-1223766

We celebrated World Book Day last Friday with our “Cosy and Comfy” day. Children were invited to bring their teddies, onesies, favourite blankets, pillows and books to school so that they could spend some time getting cosy with a good book. What a great day!
