Well done to all students, parents and staff who participated in National Bike week last week. Each class has been keeping a tally of cyclists and results will be shared later this week. The bike parking area never looked so full! It’s great to see everyone engaging in active transport!
1st Class have been learning about magnets!
They started by making predictions about which materials magnets would be attracted to and then conducted their own experiments to confirm or deny their predictions.
How catching 1st class!
Junior and Senior Infants had a recent visit from the Gardaí. They shared useful information about what children can do if they are in trouble and that their role in the community is to keep everyone safe. They also reminded the children of important safety rules.
Finally, they showed us their squad car and their siren! It was a very impressive presentation and they all really enjoyed learning more about their important role in our community.
Go raibh maith agat an Garda Síochána!
We celebrate over 30 nationalities in our school!
Last week children, parents, teachers and team came together to celebrate our 2023 Culture Day. We shared food, dance, songs and storytelling. It allowed us to get a glimpse of how lucky our children are going to school with such a diverse mix of friends. It was a wonderful warm and welcoming atmosphere. As one parent put it, ‘we are more International than an International school…’
Thank you to all the Culture Day team, the volunteers, from MC’s, to photographers, to everyone on the tables, to people on the door, all the performers, the cooks and the bakers – thank you all for putting it all together and for such an enjoyable day.

If you were one of those lucky enough to be in attendance at the National Children’s Choir at the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght on Wednesday night last week, then you were treated to an outstanding performance!
The children performed 12 songs over the course of the evening. It was clear to all there how much hard work and practice had gone into preparing for such a performance.
A big thank you to both Ms. Russell and Ms. O’Donnell for the huge amount of time and effort they have put into preparing the children and organising the logistics for this event. Also thank you to Ms. Skelton and Mrs. Wynne for supporting this endeavour.
It was a truly fantastic performance. Well done 5th & 6th Class!
Last week 2nd Class created beautiful vibrant masks which were all unique and different. The class first designed and planned their masks, then painted their masks very carefully and finally added a variety of resources.
We love their creativity!
Well done 2nd Class!
Best of luck to the boys hockey team who are playing against Monkstown in the final this morning! We previously drew 1:1 against each other during the season so this should make for an exciting game. Thanks to Monkstown for the opportunity.
Best of luck team!

We would like to wish all our children, families, teachers and team a very Happy St Patrick’s Day.
Yesterday was a day full of green – celebrating our Lá glas and the end of our Seachtain na Gaeilge. We had a storyteller telling us stories both in English and as Gaeilge. We heard about many Irish myths from Fionn, Bran, Oisin and all the way to Tír na nÓg. The weather was beautiful, so we managed to have a concert outside. Each class shared a piece they had learnt for Lá Glas!
Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!
Congratulations to the girls hockey team who won their match against Mount Anville Primary School 1:0! It was a hard fought victory against a very strong team. Thanks to Mount Anville Primary School for the challenge.
