Senior Room School Tour 2025

Our Senior room pupils had the end of year school tour on Monday 23rd June and went to the Heritage Park in Wexford.

Pupils had a fantastic day and really enjoyed the visit.

They took part in a guided tour with an costumed instrucor who gave so many interesting nuggets of information to the children. Next up was The Daily Life. This included coin striking which consists of the student striking a mold with a hammer to mark their own coin. Our pupils learned how the people lived, the weapons they used, and had an opportunity to try on some costumes.

Lastly we done a falconry experience and this was the highlight of the day. Every pupils got involved and really enjoyed the experience which included handling the birds of prey.

Overall it was a brilliant day and as always the pupil were impeccably well behaved.

This year we held our annual Sports Day on Tuesday 24th June

Again the weather gods were with us and it was a lovely warm dry day. All the pupils were divided into teams of mixed classes and the theme for the day is that each pupil was to do their best, encourage their teammates and have fun!!! 

It was a fantastic day and all our pupils were great teamplayers and had great fun. As always our senior pupils minded and took care of our smaller ones and showed them how everything was done.

We ended the day of sports with a tug of war and so many parents took part. It was great fun and very competitive!!.

Each pupil got a lovely medal for participation and we had also were treated to gorgeas snacks on the day with ice creams.

We also presented our 6th class with their traditional going away gift which included a gorgeas personalized hoody, a framed class photo, a personalized candle and a personalized keyring as a memento for their time spent at Scoil San Eoin.

 Huge thanks to the Parents Reps and all the parents who helped out on the day,

Well done to all our pupils on a brilliant day!

Summer Stars at Arklow Library!

Dear Parents,

See below information regarding the Summer Stars at Arklow Library.

Encouraging your child to take part in Summer Stars is a great way for them to continue their learning journey and have fun while they do it!

Research shows that children who read over the summer maintain or even increase their reading levels and return to school more prepared for the new school year.  

Reading booklets and bags: All participants in Arklow will be given a Summer Stars bag, reading booklet with puzzles and activities to record and track their own progress plus their own star to go in our window. They can stamp their card for their favourite book read each week plus there's a bookmark, sticker, pencil and seeded bookmark as prizes. There will be a certificate and medal at the end for all participants.

EBooks and AudioBooks Count Too!  BorrowBox ebook and audiobook collections are available through the app or online. These collections are free to all library members.

Events and Activities There are always activities and events taking place in Arklow Library. The Magic Table (which so many classes have visited during the year) is available for booking by families and friends.

They got to take part in lots of activities from feeding and holding the different animals and they got lots of playtime in the park and on ride ons and the new bouncy castles. There was great excitement throughout the day and the children were rewarded with a lovely hot lunch of nuggets & chips after all the activities. There were lots of sleepy heads on our bus returning home that evening but we had an amazing day and a great end to term 24/25.

Taekwondo & Tennis for Term 3

Pupils from Junior Infants up to sixth class have been doing a 4 week course in Taekwondo with instructor Tom Thortan. These classes are following on from a very successful taster class and block we last completed with Tom Thorton. Taekwondo has lots of fantastic benefits for children:
