• Gaeligeoir na Miosa

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  Noomi from P6 is one of the school’s most proactive Irish speakers. Her promotion of the language through daily use has really permeated throughout Sacred Heart P.S. to everyone’s benefit. It was highly fitting then that she received the Gaeligeoir na Míosa award for March.

  Maith thú a Noomi as ucht do chuid Gaeilge a úsáid ar scoil!

• Principal’s Award P4

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  Róise P4 

  Róise has consistently worked hard throughout P4 and always produces work to an excellent standard. In every task the class undertakes, Róise approaches it with great enthusiasm and determination. Her endeavours are consistently presented beautifully. She also demonstrates a growing resilience and will strive to give something a go. 

  Róise's creativity shines through in her writing. She has great ability in this discipline and the outcomes that she produces are of a very high standard. A talented performer too, it has been a joy to see Róise's confidence grow. Her singing and dramatic skills are developing week after week. 

  Most importantly, Róise is sensitive and empathetic towards her peers. She shows kindness everyday and has a gentle, natural ability, to make her peers feel supported and valued. She is polite and pleasant towards everyone in the school and is becoming a great role model for other pupils. Róise has great friends but it is really apparent that she is a friend to all.

  Well done!

• P1 ASPIRE Trip to Streamvale Farm

  Thu 03 Apr 2025

  To wrap up their WAU topic, The Farm, P1 enjoyed a fantastic ASPIRE trip to Streamvale Farm alongside their friends from Knockevin. 

  With the sun shining, the children had the chance to see and learn about a variety of animals, with the puppies and rabbits being firm favourites. They watched an exciting sheepdog agility show, took a fun tractor ride and ended the day playing in the cannonball and tractor area.
