• GR8 Dundrum Run

  Tue 10 Oct 2023

  We as a school are immensely proud of our five pupil competitors who took part in this year’s GR8 Dundrum Run on Saturday past. Aoife P4, Caragh P4, Ruadhán P5, Oisin P6 and Ellie P6 all ran brilliantly and the five of them were enthused to bring their medals into school to show to all of their friends.

  We can’t forget our own Mr Doyle as well, who also took part in the race, securing a very commendable time.

  Well done to you all!

• Principal’s Award

  Fri 06 Oct 2023

  Darragh P6

  Darragh has had a superb start to P6. He has been making a sustained effort within all areas of the curriculum but has been particularly impressive within Numeracy. He has demonstrated full understanding and has been challenging himself with problem solving and reasoning extensions.

  During writing lessons, he will always have his hand up to contribute his imaginative and creative ideas. He takes great pride in his work, ensuring that it is well organised and his handwriting is neat and tidy. He is also continually improving on the pace of his writing!

  Darragh must be commended on the attitude he brings to school. He is not afraid to try something new or volunteer an answer. He has a fantastic sense of humour and is always entertaining his peers with a joke or a story but also knows when he needs to put his head down during lessons.

  Well done on a great start to the year Darragh!

  Fri 06 Oct 2023
