Good News Noticeboard
Have you some good news to tell us? If your child has some GOOD NEWS to tell us, we would be delighted to place it on the wall near the main entrance.

Please encourage your child to share their news with the school community.

Gaelic football Blitz
On Friday 17th October, 3rd and 4th classes will participate in a Gaelic Football Blitz in Nenagh C.B.S. Please ensure your child has their gumshield and a change of socks and dry footwear on this day.
Library Visits
We are most fortunate to have our Library in such close proximity to the school. On 1st October, Junior Infants to 3rd classes will visit the library for the launch of the Children’s Book Festival- The wonderful Arran Towers and his Tallest Smallest Circus. A clueless Ringmaster with no acts. A show complete with jugglers, magicians, acrobats, daredevil clowns and a gravity defying grand finale, Arran Towers ‘Tallest Smallest Circus’ 4th, 5th and 6th classes will visit Nenagh Library for an Author Talk with Eve McDonnell on Monday 13th October. Eve McDonnell published her first novel ‘Elsetime’ in 2020, ‘The Chestnut Roaster’ was published in 2022 and her latest novel ‘The Last Boy’ was published in 2024. We hope that the boys and girls enjoy these events.
Hallowe’en dress up
On Friday 24th October, all pupils have been invited to dress up in Hallowe’en costumes. We would ask that pupils do not wear scary masks as we do not wish to frighten any of the small children.
