What a show! Congratulations to all our pupils who shone brightly on stage today. We really enjoyed the performance and are eagerly waiting show two tomorrow evening. Here are some photos from the show. A memory stick will be available next week of the recorded performance.
Today we celebrated the visit of The Dr. O’ Donoghue Cup with the victorious players and management team. Congratulations to all involved with Rathmore GAA. We are very proud to have so many of our past pupils, parents and indeed Mr. John Moynihan involved yesterday.

76 shoeboxes collected in school - well done and a big thank you to each pupil who generously filled a box, also to the pupils who donated to the cause online. Team Hope delivers the Christmas boxes to children in Africa and Eastern Europe. We are grateful to you all for supporting this worthy campaign.
Thanks so much for the huge support for our annual cake sale. It was a big thumbs up from The Amber Flag Committee who were delighted with the large quantities of goodies that all the pupils enjoyed. We really appreciate your support. 😊
We encourage pupils to give their ideas, on how as a school, we can promote and improve the wellbeing of all in our school community. We value pupil voice so all suggestions are welcome.
