First Day at School!
We are delighted to welcome our Junior Infants class of 2024. What a special day the first day of school is – here are our newest little superstars:
The Arts STE”A”M
4th and 6th Class, in connection with our Creative Cluster, discussed The Arts STE”A”M in great detail. The children created their own set for a Lego character, filmed a music video on the Lego Vidiyo app and had an introduction to costume design and special effects. They researched dramatic stage make up and prosthetics and created an amazing Lego stage – Lego The Boombox!
Christmas Activities
We had a Fun Day at school getting ready for Christmas! Children were divided into 4 teams with a mix of children from each room. They rotated around our 4 classrooms enjoying Christmas activities. All enjoyed working together!

The Patrick Curtin Annual Memorial Tournament
There was great excitement at the Patrick Curtin Memorial Tournament at Moyvane G.A.A. pitch recently where the yellow bibs took on the red bibs.

He is a role model for all our children and we keep his memory alive through this annual tournament.
A huge thank you to Patrick’s family who attended the tournament and presented the trophy and medals to the winners. We would also like to acknowledge and thank Vincent Murphy, Castleisland who sponsored the medals. Thanks to referee/teacher Mr. McMahon, Mrs. Curtin and all involved in organising this annual tournament.
