Photograph Exhibition
It is 30 years since the school was officially opened by the then Taoiseach, Albert Reynolds. To mark this milestone, an exhibition of photographs of every 6th class that graduated from the school since 1994 was unveiled on June 20th during our graduation ceremony. The school community would like to express our sincere gratitude to Maggie Geoghegan for leading this project, to Karen Greene for enhancing, printing and framing all the photographs, and to Finbarr O’Donohoe from Memory Lane Photography for donating all the picture frames to the school. This exhibition is on display in the school corridor.
We are a Green School!
Oisín McManus, our former student and member of one of Ireland’s most popular entertainment acts The Tumbling Paddies, raised our Green Schools Flag last week. Congratulations to our Green School’s committee, all the children in the school and Mrs Mills who coordinated the initiative, on the award of the Green Schools flag for litter and waste. We would like to sincerely thank The Tumbling Paddies for taking time out of their very busy schedule to help us celebrate this wonderful achievement.

Basket Weaving Workshop
Earlier this week, Helena Golden – The Willow Woman – held a basket weaving workshop in the school for 3rd to 6th classes. Using sustainably grown willow, the children learned how to weave their own basket just as their ancestors did. Baskets were used for storing and carrying food and fuel and they are becoming very popular again as we try to reduce the amount of plastic that we use. All the children had a basket to bring home, made from scratch with their very own hands! This project is part of the Heritage in Schools initiative and was funded by our Parents Association.
