Our Awards and Achievements
We have been awarded our fifth Green Flag for Bio-diversity! We are so proud of our whole school community for this achievement. Thank you Mrs Molloy and our green schools teams for leading us in this important endeavour. 12th April 2019
We currently have five Green Flags, most recently we received our Bio-diversity Flag. We have an Active School Flag, Health Promoting Flag and Junior Entrepreneur Flag. All these initiatives show our commitment to the environment, business and healthy lifestyles.
This year we got brand new Prim Ed STEM boxes for each class and last year we got new Prim Ed Maths Boxes to help with learning in science and maths which were funded by the Board of Management. The 3rd to 6th class children received fortnightly magazines called the Primary Planet. We have brand new Aistear resources for the infants to learn through play. We play Hurling, Camogie, Football, Soccer and Basketball. Athletics coaching takes place during the year too. Mrs Killeen comes in to do music and prepares us for special Christmas and Summer Performances.
Mrs Mooney coaches the GAA teams and organises an Active Week each year. This year, we had soccer, tennis, tag rugby, hurling, athletics and many more fun activities for the children. Miss Byrnes coaches our basketball teams and they had a great time at the basketball blitz in Mucklagh. We participate in Art Competitions, Spelling Bee, Write A Book competitions and Credit Union quizzes.
Every second year, we also participate in Peace Proms and take part in a regional concert in Kilkenny. We have a wonderful library in each classroom. We promote road, bike and farm safety.
We promote good attendance, healthy lifestyles, music and sport.
