St. Brigid’s Day

St. Brigid’s Day

It was that time of year again recently when the Patron Saint of our school and church was recognised and celebrated by all in the community. St. Brigid’s Day is always an important day in our school’s calendar and each year our pupils pull out all the stops to ensure that there are enough St. Brigid’s Crosses for everyone. The crosses are distributed at our beautiful St. Brigid’s Day mass which, this year, saw the return of our invitation to grandparents for Grandparent’s day in the school.

2nd Active Flag

There were great end of year celebrations following the news that our school had achieved our 2nd Active Flag. This was the culmination of almost 2 years of activities and events organised with the aim of promoting exercise and a more active lifestyle for the whole school community. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who played a part in helping us to achieve another important milestone for the school.

Pictured below are the Active School Committee and Mr. Mc Inerney with our 2nd Active Flag.

Camogie Cumann na mBunscoil

The girls from 5th and 6th Class did themselves and the school proud recently by reaching the final of the Camogie 7 a side Div.2 B. After a hard fought match the girls just came out on the wrong side of a very tight result but they really gave everything in what was a very entertaining contest. Well done girls!
