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.
Graduation 2024
Congrats to Luke, Paudie, Thomas, Eliot, Fergal, Natalie, Eve, Eve, Danielle, Mya and Lucy who all graduated this morning – we wish them all the best in secondary school. We were joined by none other than The Tumbling Paddies for the graduation ceremony this morning!
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.

Playground Facelift!
Our school playground has had a facelift! The basketball court lines have been repainted, a new soccer court marked out, and various play areas painted including a jumbo chess board! New playground resources include skipping ropes, balls, hula hoops, Twister, outdoor Jenga, jumbo draughts, jumbo Connect-4, Wooden Quoits, sensory play equipment and throwing games. This is part of Active School initiative and our Well-Being school improvement plan, and has all been made possible by the generous donation of €1700 from our Parents’ Association.

Mary’s Meal Fundraiser
An amazing €1065 was collected recently by the St Mogue’s N.S. community for the Mary’s Meals charity. The children presented the cheque to Patricia Shannon, from Mary’s Meals, earlier this week. Patricia informed us that this money will feed 48 children every day for a full school year, providing 9,688 meals for some of the most vulnerable children in Malawi. Well done everyone!
