• JEP Showcase Day

  Fri 11 Apr 2025

  P7’s Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) journey came to its culmination as they hosted their Showcase Day. Sacred Heart Scents were busy selling their amazing product and after a frantic day of sales they sold all of their stock. A great team effort by everyone involved. Thanks to the customers who purchased the bespoke candles (lime and basil/fresh linen) and a big well done to the P7’s for their innovation and industry!

  

• Silver Coin Challenge

  Fri 11 Apr 2025

  Competitiveness levels were high this past week as all the classes in school competed in the Silver Coin Challenge. At the final weigh in today it was Mr Doyle’s P4/P5 class who emerged victorious, just narrowly pipping Miss Mack’s P5/P6 class. The winners will get to enjoy a well deserved reward on Tuesday for their efforts.

  The funds raised from this initiative will all go towards our final total for Trócaire that will be announced on Wednesday as we break for the Easter holidays.

• P4/5 Down County Museum Trip

  Fri 11 Apr 2025

  As part of their 'Prehistoric World' WAU topic, P4/P5 had an incredible visit to the Down County Museum. The children were thrilled to explore fascinating artefacts from the Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age, gaining a hands-on understanding of these ancient periods.

  In addition to their prehistoric discoveries, they delved into the rich local history of the museum itself, which was once a gaol. The children learned about the harsh conditions prisoners faced and how they were treated back then. 

  It was a day full of learning and curiosity, bringing history to life in the most engaging way!
