Activities
INTO Mini 7s
Well done to our boys and girls who played some great football today in the INTO Mini 7s blitzes.
More Wonderful Art
All classes have produced some wonderful artwork during the month of September.
Much of this is on display around the school while some other superb pieces are being entered in the Credit Union Art Competition.
A Word For Everyone in Ireland
The boys and girls from 1st class to 6th class have been set a target of reading a word for everyone in Ireland.
They will achieve this target by reading books which are on the Accelerated Reader system and then passing a quiz on one of the school iPads. So far, the children have read almost 1.5 million words!
The whole school will get a night free of homework when the target of 5.123 million words read is reached.
First WOW walk of the year
We had a very enjoyable Walk On Wednesday today.
School Teams Back in Action
Our school football teams took to the field for the first time in the 2022/2023 school season yesterday.
We had four teams who played very well in games against our neighbours Caherline NS.
Hurlers Receive Their Medals
During last June the boys won the competition for 3rd & 4th class among South Limerick Schools. They defeated Knockainey NS and were awarded the cup which is named after Harry Greensmyth.
At today’s assembly they were awarded their well deserved medals. Congratulations boys!
Colourful Corridors
Just over a week since we returned and the school’s corridors are already filling up with some lovely colourful displays.
Welcome Back!
It’s great to be back in school and a special welcome to all our new pupils!
Wishing all the staff, pupils and parents/guardians all the best for the new school year. We are looking forward to lots of new learning experiences.

Green Flag – Biodiversity
Huge congratulations to the boys and girls across the school who have achieved a fifth Green Flag for Biodiversity!
Speared headed by the Green Schools Committee and Mrs Murphy, there has been fantastic work over the course of two years into the areas around biodiversity, as well as the previous elements of the Green Flag process.
The following speech was proudly read by members of the Green Schools Committee at the flag raising ceremony today.
We are the Green Schools Committee and we are delighted to be raising our 5th Green Flag for Biodiversity! We’ve been working hard as a school to get this flag and we appreciate all the work everyone has put in. We’d like to say a big, special thank you to all our sub-committee members: the Litter Legion, the Switch-off Squad, the Water Wardens, the Travel Team, the Bio-D Bunch, Ms, Murphy, Breda, Louise and Niall for all your hard work too!
Since we began our Green Schools Adventure years ago, we have put recycling bins in our classrooms, raised awareness with signs everywhere, done lots of litter picking, installed Barry our Water Barrell, gone for lots WOW walks, installed a bicycle rack, planted trees and bulbs, improved our garden with a bug hotel and bird feeder and have had many fun Action Days to show how much we care about our planet!
Biodiversity is so important for our planet and our well-being. From the smallest seed to the largest tree. From the tiniest insect to us humans, we all depend on each other, so it’s a great honour to raise this flag now! Thanks again to all the staff and pupils for all the work you have put in over the past 2 years especially when Covid made it so hard to come together. Please give a big bualadh bos for our brand new Biodiversity Green Flag!
