The BIG one!!
This Friday, all roads lead to the Golden Anchor for our annual Hallow’en disco.
A message from the PA in advance of the disco:
”’We are looking for donations of raffle prizes to be dropped into school by next Friday please.
We’ve got a Santa train family pass from the Amber Springs Hotel and two family pool passes from Active Tribe Courtown.
Raffle tickets can also be purchased via PayPal if anyone can’t attend the disco”.
Thank you
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

We also incorporated scooter day as part of our Active Flag endeavours and then sun shone for this lovely whole school outdoor activity!
We dressed in the colours of the rainbow to show light and happiness and each child contributed €2 towards the furnishing of a comfort space in each classroom. Stay tuned for more on this!
Huge thanks to Ms. Bergin and our Well-being Warriors for a really wonderful day!
We were delighted to welcome Conor McDonald, Wexford hurler, today. As a GAA star, we asked him to congratulate our amazing footballers who won the district final yesterday. We were thrilled to share this victory with our local schools, St. Kevin’s NS and Scoil Íosagáin
There has been so much going on with GAA games and tournaments that it has been hard to keep up! Here is an update as to how our teams have been doing so far. Huge thanks to Mr. Breen, Ms. D’Arcy and Ms. Carroll for their encouragements. Thanks also to all the staff who have helped out with supervision to make it happen!
Girls:
To date the girls have had a very positive start to the school football league. Our 6th class girls have won all their games and now compete in the district final TODAY in Naomh Eanna against Camolin @1:30pm. We wish them the very best of luck and are so proud of them!! Ádh mór a chailíní!!
Our 5th class girls have won all their games in the first round of Rising Stars and are through to the next round.
And….. our 5th & 6th girls also competed in the mini 7’s last week and are also through to the next round.
Maith sibh cailiní.
Boys:
The boys Rackard league team got through to the A quarter final on Monday v Bree in Castletown after qualifying top of their group after 3 very tough games v St. Joseph’s , Oulart and Blackwater. They unfortunately lost but we are so proud of their achievement.
The Rising Stars boys play their last group stage game v Loreto Gorey next Thursday and have also played brilliantly along the way with one win from 2 games.
The boys Mini 7s football team played last week in their first round blitz and showed determination and skill with a win v Gorey Educate Together but lost out to a very strong St. Joseph’s side who progressed to the next round. Well done boys!
Also pictured is Mr. Breen’s class proudly wearing our new set of jerseys which will be used for GAA, soccer, rounders and any other events. They were very generously sponsored by Mikey and Luke’s Mum and Dad of BET Technologies and the boys were delighted to join in the photo with the senior children. Thank you so much Lisa and Brian!
Our PA is running the Re-Turn initiative at our school to raise funds for school activities. The benefits of this are two-fold as it also teaches pupils the value of recycling! We hope you can support us!
Some lovely photos of our after school hub club for infants run by Ms. Rolland. Look at those smiles! We are delighted to be able to offer this facility for working parents/ parents with two pick ups. Thank you. Ms. Rolland!
We love this spread of photos of our wonderful Junior Infants in the Gorey Guardian! They are off to a super start!
