The boys team played their blitz on October 10th. Unfortunately we had no luck against Holy Family, Mountshannon and Mol an Óige as we are in a high division this year. However there is some promising talent in 4th class so the future is bright! 697CBB2B-3B1E-4006-90C3-78FD2B6E947D

Áitbheo Program

September 9th, 2019

Children from 2nd to 6th class began their 8 week Áitbheo program with Kate Lavender today.

The Áitbheo programme aims to increase awareness and foster appreciation of the wealth of natural and cultural heritage in one’s place, with the school serving as a starting-point for investigating the local area. It offers a hands-on and fun learning experience, as well as encouraging independent research and debate, and developing key aspects of the literacy, numeracy, science, history and geography curricula. On completion, the students graduate as certified Young Place Heroes, with a bank of knowledge and enthusiasm that they will carry with them for years to come.
