The school community of Sacred Heart P.S. came together this morning for a wonderful ‘Trip Down Memory Lane’ event which formed part of our ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations.

A fantastic turnout of past and current pupils were in attendance along with those who are associated with our school in different forms. Nostalgia and reflection were very much part of the vibe as everyone enjoyed the archives and memorabilia on show.

A sincere thanks goes to the staff of the school for their organisation and running of the event. Gratitude is also extended to all those who contributed material.

50 years on our current site is a milestone to be proud of. Next up is the Gala Ball on the 2nd March 2024. Watch this space for further details on it over the coming weeks.

#50thAnniversaryCelebrations

There has been lots of energy in school these past five days as Maths Week and Recycle Week were in full flow. We are also busy preparing for our ‘Trip Down Memory Lane’ event that takes place tomorrow.

P1 - Eimílie, P2 - Kiannah, P3 - Shea, P4 - Jake, P5 - Ruadhán, P6 - Niamh and P7 - Charlie.

Laetare P1

Laetare is a very deserving recipient of this award. She has impressed all of the staff here at Sacred Heart P.S. with her kind, caring and bubbly nature. 

Laetare has an infectious energy and always has a big smile on her face. She has exemplary manners, and she shows a mature attitude towards learning. Laetare is a keen storyteller and is already able to blend words independently which is a fantastic achievement. 

She is an excellent role model and Miss Byrne relays that she is a pleasure to teach. Keep up the outstanding work!

This morning at assembly we held our annual Maths Bee as part of Maths Week Ireland. Each class were tested on lots of questions, problem solving tasks, mathematical terminology and challenges. It proved to be a fun and entertaining concept embedded with learning and competitiveness.

Well done to our winners who will all receive a prize for their efforts:

P1 - Grace, P2 - Matty, P3 - Hugh, P4 - Ronan, P5 - Darlene, P6 - Charlie and P7 - Lorcan.

Emily P7

Emily has demonstrated an increased sense of maturity this year. She is a caring friend and is always looking out for those around her. She has already proven herself to be a fantastic buddy to the P1's and has been taking this new found role and responsibility very seriously, setting a fantastic example for her peers.

Emily has become an extremely independent and focused worker during lessons. She has been making huge progress within her Literacy and reading. Emily has been taking ownership of her own learning and it is evident that she is seeking challenges and improvements during class activities.

Well done!
