Congratulations to our 6th Class of 2022/23 who graduated yesterday.

We celebrated with a lovely ceremony in the hall followed by our traditional guard of honour from the rest of the school.

We will be sad to see you go, make sure you come back to say hello.

Today we hosted our Senior Sports Day in Lucan Sarsfields GAA club.

The children participated in novelty games, rounders, lacrosse, Gaelic football, soccer, tug of war, dodgeball, tag rugby, handball and much more.

Thanks to all parents who attended and to all staff who worked very hard today. We would imagine everyone will sleep well tonight.

3rd,5th and 6th class visited Lucan Harriers Athletic track today as part of Active Week. Children took part in hurdles, shot put, hammer throw, sprints and relay races. Well done to everyone involved for a great day out.

On Friday 2nd June, Diarmuid’s 6th class and Kevin’s 1st class attended Bloom in the Phoenix Park. We were treated to a tour from Agri Aware and Incredible Edibles. The weather was fantastic and a great day was had.

Today marked the end of the season for our girls and boys basketball teams. Both teams played really well in the National Basketball Arena and represented the school brilliantly. Maith sibh.

A huge well done to all the boys and girls who competed today in the Cumann na mBunscoil Athletics in UCD. We finished with 13 medals, a fantastic achievement. Congrats to all involved.

Our Senior Boys Football Team played in their league semi final in Hillcrest on Thursday afternoon. A number of our classes went to support the boys on the day. Although the result didn’t go our way on the day, the boys represented the school with great courage and pride. Thanks to all the children and teachers for your hard work this year.

As part of Tech Week in ACETNS (9/5/22 – 13/5/22), the children will also be participating in online safety workshops facilitated by Barnardos. The SPHE programme in school and the school’s Digital Strategy both recognise the great importance of developing the children’s awareness and skills to become responsible and safe users of online technology, both in school and at home. We adults also need to raise our own awareness and skills in the area of Online Safety in order to protect and support our children. We encourage all parents to avail of this great opportunity and register for the webinar next week. 

An email has been sent out to parents with a link to the webinar. If you have not received this please contact the school.
