Read MoreP1's First Day
Published 01/09/26*** P1’s First Day ***
Another little piece of history was made today as our new P1 pupils began their journey at Sacred Heart P.S.
The boys and girls had a wonderful morning settling into their new surroundings and enjoying lots of fun, engaging activities in Mrs O'Toole's classroom. There were plenty of smiles, excitement and enthusiasm as new friendships started to blossom and new adventures began.
A fantastic start was made by everyone, and we are incredibly proud of how well the children settled into school life. We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
Welcome to the Sacred Heart family, boys and girls!

Cúpla Focal Success
Published 07/07/26*** Cúpla Focal Exam Success ***
Our pupils and staff have done a fantastic job embracing the Cúpla Focal challenge this year. From greetings and classroom phrases to everyday conversations, Gaeilge has become an important part of life at Sacred Heart P.S.
Recently, Miss Byrne co-ordinated our Cúpla Focal examinations, and we were delighted with the outstanding results. A large number of pupils, along with three members of staff, successfully completed the assessments and passed with flying colours.
This achievement reflects the enthusiasm, commitment and confidence shown by everyone involved in promoting and using Irish throughout the school.
Maith sibh a pháistí agus a fhoireann! Is fearr Gaeilge briste ná Béarla cliste!

Mathews - P6
Since joining Sacred Heart P.S. in 2025, Mathews has quickly become a familiar and friendly face across the school. He settled into life here with impressive ease, throwing himself into his classroom work with real perseverance and dedication. His joyful personality — that great sense of humour and infectious smile — has made this school a brighter place for everyone in it.
Mathews has shown a wonderful commitment to his faith this year, preparing thoughtfully for both his First Confession and First Holy Communion. His dedication to those milestones has been truly admirable. He also brings that same enthusiasm to choir, where his voice rings out with real confidence and joy.
Beyond the classroom, Mathews continues to impress. He has taken up Gaelic and shown himself to be a brilliant team player, and he has recently earned his Cúpla Focal — a fantastic achievement that puts him on the path to speaking a third language. Sacred Heart P.S. is very lucky to have him!
