• Funtasia Trip

  Mon 05 Jun 2023

  Tomorrow (Tuesday) the whole school will be going to Funtasia, Drogheda, for our annual trip. We would ask that everyone be in school for 8am as the buses will be leaving at 8:15am sharp.

   

  Pupils can wear their PE uniform on the trip (P7's are permitted to wear their Leavers' jumpers if they so wish). Everyone is asked to bring a bottle of water, break and a packed lunch in a plastic bag which can be disposed of in Funtasia. Can you all please ensure the packed lunches are all free of nuts as well.

   

  P1-P4 children will be availing of the theme park, soft play, bowling and crazy golf. P5-P7 children will be going to the water park and bowling. For those P5-P7 children it is essential that they bring a swim bag with a towel, swimming suit and goggles (students can change back into their PE uniform after they have finished in the water park). The boys and girls can bring a maximum of €10 spending money with them for the trip too.

   

  We anticipate being back to school for between 3:30pm and 3:45pm. Parents will be notified by text. Please note, as previously informed, there will be no Breakfast Club or After School Club provision tomorrow.

   

  Thank you.

  

• P2 Trip to Mount Stewart

  Mon 05 Jun 2023

  The sun was shining from start to finish for P2's class trip to Mount Stewart today. The theme of the excursion was 'Connect with Nature' and they did this through taking part in four activities: 

   

  - Bug Hunt (finding and identifying minibeasts in the forest) 

  - Tracking and Stalking (learning skills to find evidence of the animals which live in the forest) 

  - Find a Flock (identifying bird species by their call) 

  -Woodland Art (creating an animal using natural items gathered around us)

   

  It was a fantastic day all round with everyone engaged and involved throughout. Every student ought to be very proud of themselves as they represented the school wonderfully and were given a bonus gift to take home for being such wonderful listeners with excellent manners. 

   

  Well done boys and girls!

• Principal’s Award

  Fri 02 Jun 2023

  Annie P3

   

  Annie is an extremely well-mannered and hard-working pupil who loves school life in Sacred Heart P.S. She is great at participating in class discussions and she comes up with some wonderful answers and suggestions.

   

  Annie has a great talent in Numeracy and has a really good ability to work out mental maths especially in her times tables.

   

  Annie really deserves this award as she is such a caring individual who is always willing to help with no prompt needed at all. She takes it on herself to make sure the P3 classroom is kept clean and tidy and is the first to volunteer her help to anyone in the school.

   

  Annie always comes to school with a smile on her face and sets a really good example for everyone in P3. She works hard in every lesson and loves learning new things. Annie has a super interest in reading and shows a great knowledge of high frequency words.

   

  Annie is a fantastic role model for Sacred Heart P.S. and is a very worthy recipient of this award.

   

  Well done!

• First Holy Communion 2023

  Sat 27 May 2023

  This morning our P4 class celebrated the Sacrament of First Holy Communion at a wonderful ceremony in the Sacred Heart Church led by Canon Fleck.

  The boys and girls were excellently prepared and they participated wholeheartedly in the service with song, readings and prayer.

  Gratitude is extended to P4 teacher Mr Doyle for guiding the class through this latest instalment in their spiritual journey. We also acknowledge the contribution of our classroom assistant Toni O’Neill for her sterling efforts as well.

  To the school choir, under the direction of Mr Doyle and accompanied by Cora Kelly and Annette Kelly, we thank you for your superb input to the occasion.

  We also recognise the efforts of our school staff for hosting a lovely occasion back in the school hall in which all those in attendance got the opportunity to celebrate in unison.

  We hope the boys and girls enjoy the rest of their big day!
