Christmas Play
Raheen Church was packed to capacity on Wednesday 18th December for our Christmas Play. There was a wonderful Christmas atmosphere in the air as all our classes played their part in a brilliant production. Well done to everyone for all their hard work over the last few weeks.
Christmas Fundraising for Charity
This Christmas our student council organised two charity fundraisers – one for St Vincent de Paul and the other for the Tullamore Lions Club Food Appeal. Both were very successful and thanks to everyone for their very generous contributions to both.
Christmas Fun!
We all gathered by the green on Monday 9th December for the lighting of the village Christmas tree. This year we had a very special visit from Santa Claus and he led us all in the big countdown as the Geashill Christmas Tree was lit for 2024.
Two 6th Class pupils unveiled the crib also. Thanks to everyone in the village for helping to get the crib and tree organised again this year.
Christmas Play
Our Christmas Play is taking place this year on Wednesday 18th December in St Mary’s Church, Raheen, at 7pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
School Assemblies
We held a school assembly on Thursday 21st November where we celebrated some of the amazing work going on in all our classes. A mixture of nursery rhymes, songs, English, Science, Gaeilge, ISL and History was on display. Well done to all our classes for the great work they are doing.
Fast Feet Athletics
2nd & 3rd Classes recently took part in the Fast Feet Athletics competition, organised by Offaly Sports Partnership.

Well done to all the pupils who took part and thanks to Seán and Offaly sports Partnership for their ongoing support.
Science Week
There has been a lot of Science fun going on around the school this week as it’s Science Week.
Anti-Bullying Week
We have been doing lots of activities to promote Anti-Bullying Week. On Tuesday we took part in Odd Sock Day which was an opportunity to express ourselves and to celebrate our individuality.
