  • Tail-Wagging News, Say Hello to Willow!

    Published 03/12/25

     

    Get ready to meet the fluffiest new member of our school family. We are so excited to introduce Willow, our wonderful new therapy dog.

     

    Willow is a super - sweet gentle cockapoo. She has a soft coat, a friendly wag and she is thrilled to start her big adventure at our school. 

     

    You may have already spotted Willow around the corridors. Her job is to be a comforting friend. Just by being near, she helps everyone feel safe, happy and calm. Willow is here to bring smiles, chase worries away and remind us all how great it is to be kind to each other. ๐Ÿพ 

     

    We know Willow is going to make our school an even better place. Keep an eye out for our new friend Willow. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›

  • Cross Country Success

    Published 01/12/25

    The cross country team made the short trip down to Dunleath Park for the second round of the Flahavan’s Cross Country League. Although the rain held off throughout the morning the runners experienced some very muddy conditions due to the rain over the weekend. โ˜”๏ธ 

     

    Each runner put in maximum effort and ran with great determination to finish their race. ๐Ÿคฉ

     

    A special mention to Fiadh who finished in 5th place out of over 90 runners and to Saul who finished in the top 30 out of over 90 runners ๐Ÿƒ ๐Ÿƒ‍โ™€๏ธ

     

    Chuaigh foireann na scoile chuig Rás Trastíre Flahavans i nDunleath. Cúrsa crua a bhí ann leis an fhearthainn a thit thar an deireadh seachtaine ach chuir siad an-iarracht isteach ann. Comhghairdeas libh ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿƒ‍โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ

    We were delighted to welcome Sarah Nilles from Youth Initiatives to our school assembly! Sarah spoke to the boys and girls about Christmas and the season of Advent, a special time of preparation for the birth of Jesus, the Light of the World.
