  Today the school took delivery of a new water butt. The butt will be used to store rain water. When it rains, the water is caught in a section and flows down into the butt. Collected water can then be used to water plants etc.

  Pupils, their families, members of the school community and staff pulled together to clean the village in a superb team effort. Sacred Heart P.S. is a school at the heart of the local community and we believe in giving back to the locality and today’s event was testament to this.

  Thank you to everyone who was involved. Sponsorship money can be returned to school on Monday. All funds raised go directly into benefitting our children and their education.

• Counselling Services

  Fri 01 Apr 2022

  Over the past few months we have welcomed Lisa O’Hare into our school every Friday. Lisa is a qualified school counsellor with particular interest in children and adolescents.

  In her collaboration with Sacred Heart P.S. she has been hosting small group sessions focusing on emotional regulation, exploring themes surrounding anger and anxiety.

  Whilst reactive work has been taking place in these smaller settings, there has also been a lot of proactive initiatives occurring within classes (P4 to P7). These themes have centred around kindness, conflict resolution, empathy and self-esteem.

  A host of crucial personal development and growth has taken place among our children in respect of these interventions.

  

• Principal’s Award

  Fri 01 Apr 2022

  Eoin from P7 was today’s Principal’s Award winner. Eoin’s dedication and commitment to his P7 year has really shone through. He tackles problems with confidence and has made great strides within Numeracy. Eoin exhibits first class manners and will always ensure he greets all members of staff and his fellow students. He is a very popular member of the class who brings a lot of positivity to all lessons.

  Well done!
