We were delighted to welcome the men’s and women’s winning county finals teams to school to show their silverware and celebrate with the children. It has been a great few weeks for the local community!

These wonderful girls will be representing our school, Tara Hill NS and Coolgreany NS tonight, 05/11/2024 as they compete in the Rackard League Final. It takes place at 5pm in Chadwick’s Wexford Park. All support would be most appreciated as we cheer on this fantastic group of girls. There is a charge of €5 at the gate and I have been asked to note that no-one is allowed on the pitch, please. They are pictured with the women’s shield winners who are a great inspiration to them!We will post photos of the great gathering for the teams in school today as the photos come through.

Our annual Hallowe’en decoration challenge! We love the entries for this year’s competition! Children were challenged to create a Hallowe’en decoration using recycled materials – no glitter as it is a micro plastic!! We love our Hallowe’en themed art gallery at reception! Check out Mr. Breen’s class’ Tim Burton themed portraits!

Huge thanks to Ms. D’Arcy for organising the cultivation of our wildflower patch. This area is going to be absolutely beautiful when it develops and we hope the children enjoyed playing their part in sowing the seeds. Thank you to Mark D’Arcy for his help in preparing the soil.

Such a happy day here as we mark World Mental Health Day. Our Wellbeing Warriors council kicked off the day with free play in each class- this involved each child showing their favourite toys to one another and engaging in game playing. This fostered lovely interactions and conversations and everyone looked so happy. We have had random acts of kindness and lots of wellness/mindfulness activity and stories in class. Days like this are so important
