• Peace Proms 2020

  Mon 03 Feb 2020

  Congratulations to the children in sixth class who took part in the recent Peace Proms Concert which took place in the RDS on Saturday 1st February. The girls have been very busy rehearsing for the last few months under the guidance of Ms. Magner and Ms. Kieran. This was the first time the school have participated in this event and we hope it won't be the last! The children joined forces with 2,500 other children from schools all over Ireland (North and South) to sing songs such as a Queen Medley, Disney Medley and a Pop Medley. They were joined by the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland and famous conductor Greg Beardsell. We had a fantastic day - video clips of the event can be found on our school Twitter page. 

   

  The Cross Border Orchestra (CBOI) was established in 1995 as a peace initiative and is composed of over 100 exceptionally talented young musicians from all over Ireland and Northern Ireland. Over the past 21 years, the CBOI has played an important role in building and nurturing vital cross border and cross community relations. The CBOI is conducted by one of the UK’s most celebrated and outstanding young conductors, Mr. Greg Beardsell. The orchestra are always looking for new members and details on how to join can be found here https://peaceproms.com/join-the-cboi/ 

   

  Peace Proms engages children and young people in music and enriches their lives through exceptional musical experiences and performances. Peace Proms celebrates culture and diversity and promotes peace, unity and tolerance through music. 

   

  We had a great day and fingers crossed we will be back again another year!

• Credit Union Quiz Trials

  Mon 04 Nov 2019 Valerie Shaw

  On October 21st the P.E. hall was a hive of activity as over 130 students tried out for a place on our Credit Union teams. There was great representation from all the 4th, 5th and 6th classes with some classes having up to twelve students participating. There was both a junior and senior trial due to the overwhelming interest in securing a place on one of the teams. This huge interest is a credit to the students themselves, their parents and their teachers. Each and every student did their very best. Ms. Shaw and Ms. Kieran were very proud of all their efforts. Those selected for the panel meet regularly for practice and willingly give up their break times to accommodate this.

  Many thanks to all the boys and girls for their participation in the trials for the Quiz teams and we hope to see you all again next year. You never know, it could be you representing the school next year.

  Tue 04 Jun 2019 F.Hayden

  We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Science Foundation Ireland Discover Primary Science and Maths Award for the current academic year 2018-2019. Some incredible work has taken place throughout the school this year in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). We were commended on our "first class presentation of STEM work which showed a great range and variety of work on display in our school." The judges also commented how "it was obvious that all the children were very involved and clearly enjoying the STEM work."

  Well Done to all pupils and teachers involved!
