Once again this year lots of pupils took part in the Christmas Shoebox Appeal organised by Operation Team Hope. Around 100 filled shoeboxes wrapped in Christmas paper were donated to those in need by the very generous girls and boys in our school. Well done to everyone who took part.
Some pupils from 6th Class attended the launch of the Be Safe Be Seen winter road safety campaign. They met representatives from the emergency services and the seatbelt sheriff himself! The important safety message this winter is to wear high viz when out and about cycling or walking and remember, Be Safe, Be Seen!
There was lots of fun on Friday as we all dressed up for Hallowe’en.
Well done to everyone for making such an effort.
Our girls’ football team qualified for the semi-final of their Cumann na mBunscoil competition after two great wins in the group stages.

Well done to our girls for their wonderful playing this year.
The school was a sea of black and orange on Friday as we put on the Raheen GAA colours to show our support for the team ahead of their Intermediate County Final against Ballycommon on Sunday.
