Ballintubber Tidy Towns

Litter Picking – May 2025

Students from Ms Connolly’s and Mr McInerney’s rooms made the most of the good weather last Friday, 2nd May, by helping out Ballintubber Tidy Towns. The students helped with a clean up around the village, the castle grounds and the graveyard. You can see from the pictures that great work took place!

Family Fun Walk

The sun shone brightly for our school community on Monday the 17th April, as we took part in a 5km walk to raise money for the Mayo Roscommon Hospice in memory of Imelda Filan. A huge thank you to the Parents Association, and all who helped make this morning a great success. The village looked beautiful, thanks to efforts of local tidy towns volunteers. Here are some samples of the children’s artwork we enjoyed along the route!
 

Pancake Tuesday

Pancake Tuesday turned out to be a very busy day for the children in St. Bride’s NS. Our GP room was transformed into a pancake making factory for a good part of the day with our senior pupils taking on the role of Masterchefs. They measured, whisked, fried and flipped pancakes for all the other classes in the school and the staff.

FAI Soccer Blitz

Our senior pupils took part in the FAI Primary School 5-a-side competition recently in Lecarrow. A girls and boys team were entered and both teams represented the school with great pride and effort but unfortunately were unable to progress to the next stage of the competition.

Credit Union Quiz

Our 3rd & 4th Class quiz team acquitted themselves very well for their first time representing the school at the Credit Union Quiz held in Athlone on Sunday 9th February. The 5th & 6th class team were in contention until the very end only to be pipped at the post into 2nd place. It was a brilliant effort and both teams deserve huge credit for the work they put in.

St Brigid’s Day

The children from 3rd to 6th Class were very busy on Thursday 30th January making St. Brigid’s Day crosses for themselves, their families and the wider community. These crosses were then distributed at a wonderful mass in celebration of our school’s Patron Saint on Friday 31st January.
