National Day of Prayer for Children

On Friday 14th of September, we had a prayer service for children and missionaries from all over the world. All the pupils and staff gathered in the main hall and Mr O Raoghaill taught us all about Europe, The Americas, Oceania, Asia and Africa. We also said a decade of the rosary for

each area, sang songs and learned about missionaries. 

Maths Week

Maths week will take place throughout Ireland from 15-23 October. During this week, there will be lots of fun games and activities that encourage children to develop their problem solving and reasoning skills and also contribute to developing a positive attitude towards Maths.

Friendship Week

Friendship week always takes place in September and we like to focus on a positive statement of "Friendship" rather than "Anti-bullying". All classes engaged in lessons that encouraged the children to promote tolerance, friendship and forgiveness. Dr. Maureen Griffin, a Forensic Psychologist came to our school and talked to the third to sixth class children. She spoke about issues around social media, the internet and mobile phone safety and we wrote about this on our blog pages. Friendship week has proved very beneficial in previous years, in particular at this stage of the year. 

Beginning of Year School Mass

Our pupils and staff from all mainstream classes as well as Sonas two and three gathered in the school hall for a beautiful mass. Fr Harte spoke on the importance of listening to our hearts, minds and bodies and also reminded the children of God's love for all of us. The choir and many teachers including Ms Nolan, Ms Clifford, Ms. Lucey, Ms Reynolds and Ms Moran performed various pieces of music on a wide variety of instruments.
