GAA coaching continues and over the next few weeks the focus switches from football to hurling.

All primary schools are implementing a new Maths curriculum this year. There are lots of interesting and engaging Maths lessons taking place in all classrooms. More information on the new Maths curriculum can be found here.

There was a spooky feeling all around the school on Friday October 25th as we all got into the Hallowe’en spirit.

Our Student Council organised a Hallowe’en Wellness Walk around the village in the morning. Take a look at some of the photos from the day.

Our boys’ football team won the final of their Cumann na mBunscol competition on Tuesday 22nd October in O’ Connor Park, Tullamore.

The boys played really well and beat St. Mary’s Edenderry 5-12 to 2-3. The game was played in a great spirit, so well done to both teams for this.

To add to the excitement, our joint captains were presented with the cup by GAA president, Jarlath Burns.

Thanks to everyone in Offaly Cumann na mBunscol for organising the competitions and for making the final such a memorable occasion.

Well done to all our pupils who competed in the Primary School Cross Country Athletics Competition which took place in Tullamore Harriers on Tuesday 15th October. A special mention to our boys in 4th Class who won gold in their team event.

Welcome back to everyone after the summer break.

All classes have been working hard over the last few weeks. Well done everyone.

The school is closed for the summer holidays and reopens for the new school year on Thursday, August 29th.

A summer programme will run from July 15th for two weeks.

We held our 6th Class graduation ceremony on Wednesday 19th June.  We celebrated all they have achieved in their time in our school, alongside their families and all classes. Well done to all 21 pupils who are moving on to secondary school and we wish them nothing but the best in the future.

We had great fun in school on Friday 31st May celebrating Offaly’s wonderful Under 20 hurling team. The school was full of colour and excitement.

We are looking forward to meeting our new Junior Infants and their parents in early June. Information on starting school can be read here.
