We welcome everyone back and look forward to another busy and exciting year ahead! We especially welcome our new Junior Infants who started this month! We hope they will be very happy here over the next 8 years. We had a wonderful celebration on Friday 15th June. We wished our 6th class pupils well as they set off on their new adventures in Secondary School. We also say goodbye to Mrs. Rowe as she retires after 46 years teaching in our school! Have a look at our photos below.
Reminder:
Our open day for new Junior Infants starting in September 2018 and their parents takes place tomorrow, Thursday 26th April at 2pm. Looking forward to meeting with you all then :) We really enjoyed a visit by heritage expert, Ian Patterson on Monday with a Birds of Prey Presentation. Have a look at our photos below.
We say thank you to Fire Fighters, Lar Farrell and Brendan Heffernan from Nobber Fire Station who visited our school today and spoke to 3rd and 4th Class about Fire Safety.
We are so excited at school this week!!! Our Quiz team took part in the Credit Union National Final in the RDS in Dublin on Sunday 8th April 2018 and came first!!! Our under 11's team scored 45 points and became All-Ireland Champions!!! We could not be more proud of them.
