  • Gaelic Indoor Blitz

    Published 05/02/26

    Our boys Gaelic team took part in the Cumann na Bunscoil 5 a side indoor blitz. 🙌

     

    All 8 boys who participated gave a great account of themselves, playing some lovely football, with plenty of scores and tackling across all the games. ⚽️ 

     

    We were unfortunate to lose in the semi finals after a great run! A massive thanks to Ross for helping out with the team! 🙌

     

    Comhghairdeas leis na gasúir a ghlac páirt sa chomórtas Chumann na Bunscoil taobh istigh. D'imir siad le scileanna iontacha agus ba mhó an thrua nach bhfuair siad fríd chuig an chluiche cheannais. Míle buíochas le Ross don chuidiú! 👏

  • Catholic Schools Week

    Published 28/01/26

    Over the past two days, we have been celebrating being “Called to Holiness through Service and Courage” and “Called to Holiness through Joy and Mission.” 🙏🏼 🕊️ 

     

    The children have shown that God is at work when they help others, stand up for what is right, and spread joy in simple, everyday ways. Through their kindness, bravery, and smiles, we have truly seen the Hand of God at Work in our school community. 💚💛✋

     

    As Catholic Schools Week comes to a close, we are very proud of the children for how they have lived out these values throughout the week.

  • Cross Country Success

    Published 23/01/26

    Our Cross Country Team had another successful day out at the third round of the Flavahan’s Cross Country League in Tollymore Forest Park. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 

     

    This was undoubtedly the coldest event so far but the children weren’t long getting warmed up!🥶 

     

    Both the girls and boys team gave a great account of themselves, running well in very cold and muddy conditions and their stories on the bus on the way home showed how much fun they all had. 🤩

     

    Well done to all the boys and girls today 🏆

     

    A special thanks to the parents who also braved the very cold conditions to cheer all the pupils on!🙏

     

    Lá speisialta eile ag Rás Tíre Flavahan. Rinne na páistí ar an fhoireann sár-iarracht i bPáirc Fhoraoise Tollaímór agus é síoctha fuar. Maith sibh a pháistí agus míle buíochas leis na tuistí a tháinig le tacaíocht a thabhairt.🏃‍♂️

  • Hurling Tournament

    Published 15/01/26

    Our hurling team took part in the Cumann na Bunscoil Indoor Hurling tournament.🏑 

     

    They played 6 intense matches and came home with 3 wins, 2 draws and only got beat in one game by a very small margin! 

     

    The boys played with great skill and determination and were very unlucky to not qualify for the County Finals. 🔴⚫️

     

    With three Primary 6s on the team today the future for hurling in our school looks promising! 🌟

     

    Ghlac an fhoireann iomána páirt i gcomórtas Iomána taobh istigh. D'éirigh go hiontach leo agus níos fearr arís tá scileanna den chéad scoth acu. 

    Nach geal an todhchaí don iománaíocht sa scoil. 🌟
