Daffodil Day 2025

Today, the Irish Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Day Fundraiser took place in school.

All children were invited to wear yellow or orange on the day.

We’d like to thank everybody for their generous donations to this very worthy cause through our Cake Sale and our Monster Raffle. 

Also, special mention to everyone who helped in any way to make our day such a success.

We raised a total of €2154 during the week, which truly is an amazing result.

The gallery below displays pictures of our Daffodil Day raffle held to great excitement around our school today.

St Patricks Day 2025

St Patrick’s Day parade this year was something to cherish with so many colourful and vibrant entries. 

The theme for this year’s St Patricks parade celebrated Irish Folklore “Béaloideas”.

As part of our parade entry,  the pupils made a huge effort and dressed up as characters from different Irish stories and folklore. Our slogan was “Celebrating Irish Folklore”. The pupils wore colourful masks adn costumes depicting stories like the story of Cúchulainn, Leprechauns, the Children of Lir and the Salmon of Knowledge.  As well as this, our pupils learned a dance routine to the song “Galway Girl” by Ed Shearan. It was an amazing spectacle and huge thanks must go to Miss Ambrose for her help with the routine and of course, our fantastic pupils who performed it so well on the day.

Well done to all pupils and staff who made this such a special day.

Our gallery displays a snapshot of pictures from our school’s display in the  St Patrick Day parade in Clonakilty.

We were delighted to welcome Coach Aoife back to our school for gymnastics during January and February this year.

Aoife has taught gymnastics skills to all classes every Monday over the course of these two months.

The improvements in pupils, strength, flexibility and co-ordination has been fantastic to see.

In addition to these skills, teamwork is so important during the formation of the “human pyramid”  as can be seen in our gallery below. 

Our pupils loved the high level of gymnastics on offer and we thank Aoife for providing fun and challenging sessions in a safe way. 😀
