Class of the Year!

 Well done to Mrs O'Dea's First and Second Class who deservedly won this year's Class of the Year.

Their hard work, good behaviour and all round wonderfulness paid off as they won four Class of the Month awards on their way to the title.

The prize? A big, big party, just for them!


And here they are enjoying their sports day in typically good natured fashion.



Graduation Day

Congratulations to this wonderful group of young people, who recently graduated from Our Lady's N.S.

We will miss the Class of 2022 and we wish them all the best for the future.

Sports Day

 Sun, ice-cream, fun and games...our Sports Day had it all. It was great to have the whole school out on the field together once more after the restrictions of COVID. As usual, we had our races in the morning followed by the ever popular 'Welly Throw'. The afternoon was all about the 'Superstars' event which left everyone exhausted and happy.

A big 'thank you' to our team of past pupils who came to help out. We couldn't have managed without their help and the patience and kindness they showed to our students was lovely to see. Thanks also to our parents who came to dish out the ice-cream.











May Assembly

 We have been so busy lately that we were well into June before we had the chance to hold our May Assembly. So yesterday we all gathered in the library to celebrate the highlights of the previous month.

We had more good news from the Community Games as we received more medals, this time for handwriting. Well done to all our winners, some of whom will go on to represent their parish in the County finals.


We also honoured our writers and mathematicians of the month. Well done to all on your great work.



The big news of course, was who won Class of the Month. Well done to the boys and girls of First and Second Class who won the award for May which puts them in pole position for winning Class of the Year. All is not lost for the other classes because a win in June would mean a share of the prize.
