Halloween 2025

As ever there was great excitement for our annual Halloween parade which took place on our school yard this year. 

Huge credit must go to all who helped design and create such magnificent costumes. There was so much creativity on display throughout the classes. 😁

We encouraged the use of recycled costumes this year as part of our Green Schools initiative and the standard was extremely high. 

Our panel of secret judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners from each class. 

Please see our video reel below for a flavour of the amazing costumes on display around our school today.

Mid-term Break

We hope all pupils, parents, and staff enjoy a well-earned rest during the midterm break.

Camogie and Hurling Finals

Camogie and Hurling Finals

Camogie and Hurling Finals

We’d a great week of sporting action over the last week on local GAA fields. Both our camogie and hurling teams represented our school so well displaying great endeavour, attitude, teamwork and skills throughout each competition.

Huge congratulations must go to our camogie team this week. After two amazing group stage wins, they played magnificently well in the final against St Josephs GNS Skibbereen and were deserving cup champions on the day.

Our hurling team did incredibly well to get to their cup final after a win against Bandon Primary School but unfortunately narrowly lost to deserving cup winners Scoil Mhuire agus Bharra, Bantry in the final.

On both days, it was really encouraging to see our young hurlers and camogie players playing their hearts out for our school. Well done to all involved.

Camogie and Hurling Blitz

Our 4th, 5th and 6th class girls and boys teams took part in the recent Sciath na Scoil camogie/hurling blitz held in St Colums GAA club, Kealkill last Thursday morning.

Well done to all involved in the organisation of this competition.

Last Thursday was a grading blitz to see what school teams would be suited to play against our school in another blitz in the coming weeks.

Both our teams played 3 games each against Bandon Primary School, Coomhola NS and Scoil Mhuire & Barra. 

Our boys and girls teams showed great skill, endeavor, and attitude in all their games.

Our pupils attitude was even more special due to the fact that some of our pupils were experiencing their first game of hurling/ camogie on the day.

Well done everybody for giving your all smile
