We started our Cumann na mBunscol campaign in early September. The girls had the busier schedule, playing Gael Scoil, Ballon N.S, Queen of the Universe, Scoil Mhuire Gan Smál and Tullow Girls. They finished second in the league as they were beaten by a very strong Ballon team. It would be the latter they would face in the final under light in Netwatch Training Centre, Fenagh. In wet and slippy conditions, they knew they had it all to do with Ballon tipped as favourites to lift the cup. The girls got off to a strong start and got stuck in from the throw in.

In order to identify a focus for our Digital Learning Plan, we are gathering information and would welcome feedback from as many pupils as possible from 3rd-6th class  using an online survey. Since only one pupil at a time can complete the survey during school time, we are hoping that it can be done at home. It shouldn't take more than about 20 mins. but some of the language may be a little difficult to understand and adult help may be required. Please use the following link to bring you to the correct survey. You may take breaks as you work but once you start, the survey must be submitted within 2 hours. Click here to access the survey.

Letters were recently sent out explaining changes to the new Drumcondra Reading Tests. These letters also explained a little about how these test scores should be interpreted.

One letter is entitled "Information re. School Reports and Testing (2nd-6th)" and there is a second one whose title is" Information re. School Reports and Testing (1st Class)".

By now our pupils should be well aware of the possibility of “growing your brain” and are familiar with growth mindset ideals.

On 3rd and 4th April the pupils in 4th-6th classes were visited by Ger Brick who gave enlightening talks on Internet Safety and Cyber-Bullying.
