We take great pride in providing a safe and secure learning environment for all children of varying abilities and needs.

Great emphasis is placed on fostering mutual and self-respect, which underpin the happy and secure atmosphere in our school.

Congratulations to 5th and 6th classes on winning the National ‘Go Green’ Award in the Junior Entrepreneur (JEP) 2022 competition. With hundreds of schools and over 5000 children from all over Ireland participating in JEP this year, it is a fantastic achievement. These boys and girls are fully deserving of this accolade because of all the hard work and creativity they put into this project. They also received a merit award in no fewer than four other categories – Community Champions, Genius Product, Marketing Gurus and Star Submission! The future is bright for these young entrepreneurs.
The “Bee-friendly Ready to Go Window Boxes” that the 5th & 6th class Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) team have been working on for the past few months will be on sale from tomorrow! The JEP team have taken their business idea from the concept in November through to a completed project this week. The window boxes come in 6 colours – white, blue, red, green, yellow and natural wood, finished to a high standard, filled with compost and planted with bee-friendly flowers. The “Sales Team” have fixed the price at €25 per box, which is competitively priced and takes into account the cost of raw materials used. Profits from the sales will be used for an educational trip for the senior room. Orders can be placed this week and collected from the outdoor classroom on Thursday and Friday from 3pm – 3:30pm. The “Marketing Team” will place the remaining boxes on general sale from next Monday. Well done to the entire JEP team for pulling this venture off – they have worked exceptionally well together and I have no doubt that we have a number of future entrepreneurs! A video will be uploaded shortly showing the whole process.
Congratulations to Aimee, Fergal, Francis, Ryan, Aoibheann, Grace, Emma, Leon, Matthew and Martyna who received their First Holy Communion on Saturday in St. Patrick’s Church Kilnavart. The boys and girls did an amazing job on the day. Thanks to Ms Reilly for all her hard work to prepare the children for their special day, to Fr Seán for the lovely ceremony, and to Sean Deely, Cein Sweeney, Maggie, Seamus and Mark Edwards for the beautiful music.
Day 1 of our Active School Week got off to a flying start with Lyle Gawley from Fermanagh Ju Jitsu. Lyle demonstrated and taught all the children a range of Ju Jitsu moves and techniques. The children are looking forward to a packed schedule of events over the next few days.
We had a huge response to our Ukraine Appeal. Thanks to everyone for all the donations. The items were boxed up by 5th & 6th classes and shipped by Joe McGovern Transport, Bawnboy directly to refugees on the Ukraine/Polish border last week.
Our new outdoor ‘classroom’ went straight into action this week! This space gives children a break from the classroom, providing an opportunity to learn outdoors in a stimulating setting. It can accommodate up to 30 children for various activities including art, music, drama, reading, group work and some PE activities e.g., yoga. It also provides shelter during lunchtime on those damp days. The children loved learning outdoors this week, and the chalkboards proved very popular indeed at lunchtime! This is a fantastic addition to our school and will benefit all the children for years to come. Our Parents Association will be running a fundraiser shortly to cover the costs of this project.
