Tuesday, 14th November marks World Diabetes day. Diabetes Ireland sent us a pack to ‘Go Blue your way’ to raise awareness about Diabetes. Thanks to one of our pupils for giving us an informative presentation on living with Diabetes and for the cool blue and white loom band bracelets! Check out our pictures of ‘Going Blue’ below.

Reminder to our families that our annual Parent/Teacher meetings take place on Tuesday and Wednesday 14th/15th November 2024. We look forward to chatting with you.

Well done and thank you to all the pupils who made and donated Shoe boxes for the Hope Christmas Shoe box appeal. These boxes will go to children in other counties who are less fortunate than us. It is a lovely gesture to give to others.

Thank you to the transition year pupils of FCJ, Bunclody who co-ordinated the appeal and arranged for collection of the boxes.

We made the most of the good weather in early September when 6th class accompanied 1st and 2nd class on a walk down the Mass path to pick some in-season, juicy blackberries.

On Friday 16th June 1st -6th Class took part in a GAA football blitz organised by Amanda Scallon our GPO (games promotion officer) and Duffry Rovers GAA club. We all enjoyed the day, despite the rain! Thank you to Derek Watchorn, James Lawless and Shane Reddy who came to school on Friday 23rd to present the shield to us. Well done to all!
