Play Rota

They say that every cloud has a silver lining and the silver lining from the very big clouds we had today was 'Play Rota' at break time. It might have been lashing rain outside but our wonderful Infants had lashings of fun indoors.





Ballingarry U10 Hurling Success

On Saturday 23rd. the Ballingarry u10 hurling team went to Holycross for a blitz. We got into a shield semi-final against Ballyduff and we won by 8 points.
We then played Danesfort in the shield final. We beat them by two points and then we collected our medals and the shield. It was the third time in a row that we won

Harvest Time

Fifth and Sixth Class got their hands dirty today and harvested some of the crops sown last spring with Miss Quirke. They dug up plenty of potatoes but unfortunately they were a bit on the small side. Lots of carrots were picked too and we even harvested some turnips and peas. Our rhubarb is still growing strong.




Speaking of Miss Quirke, here is a photo taken last June of when we sadly had to say goodbye.



Florrie's Back!

Our Senior Infants have been so good so far this year that Florrie had a hard job deciding on who was the best behaved. In the end he decided that everybody deserved a hug! The sly old fox.

Welcome Note from Ms. O'Sullivan

On behalf of the staff of Our Lady's N.S. I would like to welcome each child and parent to the beginning of a new school year. A special welcome to our new junior infants and also to the McGrath family. I would like to welcome back our school staff and a very special welcome to Miss O'Connor who is our part-time Learning Support Teacher for the year.
Welcome back also to our hard working Parents' Council and many thanks to them for the wonderful job in organising our Book Rental Scheme. I would also like to thank Evelyn, our cleaner for having the school looking so well on our return, Pat Walsh, our caretaker, for all his hard work and Michael Kavanagh, our Tús worker for all his hard work over the summer.
