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.
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.
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.
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 students of Our Lady's NS recently entered the Community Games Art Competition. We received the news on Thursday that between them they had won a whopping 19 medals across all the age groups. Well done to everyone who took part.
The Our Lady's NS ladies football team took part in a blitz in Monroe on Wednesday, June 8th. They had a great day and brought home some silverware too. Well done girls!
On Friday last, we had our first assembly since February 2020. COVID restrictions meant that we couldn't bring our classes together and we really missed our monthly gatherings.
It was wonderful to come together once more and celebrate all the wonderful activities and achievements of our students. The students heard all about exciting upcoming events like the school tours, basketball coaching and the First Holy Communion. Mrs O'Dea spoke about the Green Schools Committee and Mr Gleeson filled everyone in about the recent sporting endeavors of the older students. Mrs Egan introduced our new SNA, Mrs. Norah O'Meara, to everyone and reminded the children that from Tuesday, May 3rd school shorts are permitted.
We were delighted to have Fr Quirke present to receive a cheque for €700 raised by our school community to help those suffering in Ukraine
Our Mathematicians and Writers of the month were honoured for their great work.
The big news was that Rang 3 agus 4 won 'Class of the Month' for April. With all classes tied on two 'months' each it's all to play for in May and June.
