We celebrated Grandparents Day on Jan 22nd with a beautiful mass in our school. Refreshments were served afterwards which gave everyone a chance to catch up over a cup of tea. A huge ‘thank you’ to all our grandparents, the wider school community, the school staff, Fr Sean and all our wonderful boys and girls for making it such a special day. This was also Day 3 of our Wellbeing Week and what a wonderful way to express our love and gratitude to our grandparents.

Our Latest News….
Santa Visit 2024
We had a lovely day on Thursday 19th December, when Santa dropped in with a present for every child in the school. He was kindly chauffeured by Ballyconnell Fire Service. Check out the video below….
Happy Christmas everyone!
Christmas Market
Well done Holly for guessing the number of sweets in the jar at today’s Christmas market.
Thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to our Christmas market – it was a great success this year again. A special word of thanks to the parents who were run off their feet on the Parents’ Association stall, parents on car park duty and everyone who brought items for the bake sale.
Christmas Market – student stall
All set for tomorrow’s Christmas market! The boys and girls have been really busy this week making Yule Logs. These table centre-pieces along with their wellbeing calendars are available for €10 at the Currin NS stall. The market gets underway at 12 noon tomorrow (Sunday) in our school hall (H14 Y861). See you there!
St Mogue’s NS Wellbeing Calendars
Our 2025 Wellbeing calendars are now on sale for €10 from the school or at our Christmas market next Sunday 8th Dec. This beautiful glossy calendar has a positive message for every month of the year, promoting wellbeing, especially among young people. The project was completed by 4th, 5th & 6th classes as their business for the Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP).
The children would like to thank all the sponsors who made this project possible. All the profits from sales of this calendar will fund a wellbeing activity in our school in 2025.
This is a very apt and timely project as our school is currently promoting wellbeing among students, staff and the wider school community, as part of our School Improvement Plan.
Winter Educational Trip
We enjoyed a fantastic performance of Peter Pan pantomime in the Gaiety Theatre. Oh yes we did!! We then stopped off in St, Stephen’s Green to feed the ducks on our way to the National Archaeology Museum of Ireland.
Golf lessons in St. Mogue’s NS!
We may just have found the next Rory McIlroy and Leona Maguire!! As part of our Active School programme, the children in the senior room took part in a “Golf Taster” session with Cian Mulligan from Golf Ireland recently. This initiative is aimed at introducing primary school students to the game of golf in a fun, engaging and safe environment. It was a really enjoyable morning for all involved.
Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2024
Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal – well done to all the children who brought in boxes for this year’s Appeal. An amazing 55 boxes were collected from our school for children in Africa and Eastern Europe.

One of our most successful days ever at the Cavan County Cross Country Championships in Killinkere! 3 individual medal winners – Éilis, Francis and Oran and 3 team medals – junior boys (silver), junior girls (bronze) and intermediate girls (bronze). Well done on this fantastic achievement
