We have been awarded Regional and National winner of the Global Citizenship Energy Award! Congratulations to the Green-Schools Committee and to Ms. Murray for all the hard work.  For the last two years all classes have been involved in lots of project work including litter picking, creative art, the 'Take 5 to Unsubscribe' campaign, letter writing to local councilors. We attended the award ceremony in Kilkenny and Cara and Lucy were presented with the awards. A special thanks to our former colleague Mrs. Galvin and all the teachers involved in the project.

Grandparents' Day 2024

​Thank you to the grandparents who came to our Grandparents’ Day celebration in the school hall Friday the 2nd of February 2024.  The student council and the readers from each class did a magnificent job on the day.   The children showed their artwork to their grandparents afterwards.  Our grandparents enjoyed a cup of tea and a biscuit too.  Thank you to those of you who shared precious photos of your child’s grandparents.
