Daffodil Day 2026

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 over €2000 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 2026

by knockskeaghadmin | Mar 17, 2026 | News

St Patricks Day 2026

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 “Fun and Music through the ages”.

As part of our parade entry, the pupils made a huge effort and dressed up as people from the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Our pupils wore traditional clothing, dressed as Irish dancers and as GAA players. As well as this, our pupils learned a dance routine to the song “Tóg amach mé” . 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.
