FAI Soccer 2026

FAI Soccer 2026

Our school soccer teams competed in the FAI Primary 5 a-side County Qualifiers recently. 

We had two boys teams and two girls teams representing our school in each tournament which was fantastic to see.

Our boys tournament took place in Drinagh and they played games against Dunmanway Boys, Laragh NS, Newcestown NS, St Marys Central School and Castletownbere. 

Our girls tournament took place in Lakewood and the girls played games against Coachford, Farran NS and Ballyheeda NS. 

Both our girls and boys’ teams played really well in the tournaments and all teams’ efforts were rewarded with positive results in the group stages.
One of the Knockskeagh NS girls team made it all the way to the final just losing out by the slightest of margins to qualify for the County Finals in the end.
Well done to all teams who performed very well and displayed a great attitude throughout the tournaments.
Cnoc Sceach Abú!!

Safer Internet Day

Safer Internet Day

Safer Internet Day

We marked Safer Internet Day in all our classes last Tuesday 10th of February.

This years theme was “AI Aware: Safe, Smart, and in Control” . 

Each class focused on educating our pupils about being safe online – their rights, wellbeing online, what to look out for and when to speak up. We ran an “AI” art competition throughout all our classes too, ably led by the IT pupil team in our schoool. 

Parents Internet Safety Presentation

On the evening of Tuesday February 10th, we invited all parents of our school community to an Internet Safety Presentation. The presentation focused on helping parents support parents in staying safe online, covering topics such as social media use, AI and other topics. It will also provide practical advice and an opportunity to ask questions.

Thank you to staff Aoife and Aidan, as well as Garda Liam Ryan for their presentation. 

There was so much invaluable information to take on board for everyone present on the night.
