Our annual school Halloween Sponsored Cycle/Walk took place on Wednesday 22nd Oct. The weather gods blessed us again as they have most years and we were so fortunate with the beautiful weather which made it a nicer day to cycle & walk!!
We had 2 options again this year for the pupils to choose from:
A 7k cycle around Ballykane- As with last year we were delighted to have lots of our Junior room pupils choosing to do the cycle and they managed it amazingly. Our pupils from both rooms and parents had spent lots of time practicing and cycling since our last cycle last year and it was so apparent as we completed the cycle in an hour which is an amazing time for all our pupils. We are all so proud of you and the children have well and truly proved that we are a very active school.
Our other option was a walk to from and around Cullen Park. Pupils who chose this option done lots of steps while there and even had time to listen to nature sounds and collect some leaves for an art activity that we were completing in school
After both the cycle and walks were complete we all had some much-needed refreshments and Halloween treats back at school.
The day was a fantastic success achieved only by the help and volunteering of our parents who were road marshals, who cycled alongside our pupils and who walked and helped supervise the pupils in Cullen Park. Thank you to everyone who helped out on the day, we couldn’t of done it without you.
Thank you also to our parent reps who helped in organizing the refreshments for afterwards.
Our pupils will have their sponsor cards until after the Halloween Break and we are hoping that friends and families will sponsor them for completing their task so well.
A huge well done to all our pupils and teachers for taking part in the event.
Check out all our fantastic photos and videos that were captured on the day.
Our pupils wore their favourite jerseys to school on Friday 17th Oct to raise funds for the charity GOAL.
Thank you to everyone that took part and donated on the day.
It will be greatly appeciated by the charity!
This is our first fundraiser of the year and we are really hoping it is as good as a success as previous years! Children will have sponsor cards for the event.
We would really appreciate it if you would support and sponsor them.
Thank You

Our pupils have been working hard and helping to design our student friendly Bí Cineálta Policy which will be displayed in different areas of the school for our pupils to reference if ever needed.
We still have lots more colour and pictures to add but well done to everyone so far on a great effort
Our hallways are once again filled with artwork and colour as our pupils design pictures to tell us about themselves.
Well done everyone!
Thank you for all the care, kindness and support you give our pupils each day, and for making school a happier and safe environment for all to enjoy. We all really appreciate everything you do for us here at Scoil San Eoin
Have a lovely day celebrating, you deserve it!!
Our new Junior Infant pupils Willow, Alex and Aifric have had a fantastic first week at Scoil San Eoin and have settled so well into school life. A huge well done to them. We would all like to welcome them to Scoil San Eoin and we hope they have many happy memories with us.
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.
Our Junior room pupils finished our final week of school by doing an active week. They done lots of activities and games in Cullen park. We are very lucky to have access to this wonderful local amenity.
Well done everyone on a very active week at Scoil San Eoin!!
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!
Dear Parents,
Please see below information we have been asked to share with parents.
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. Check out our website or social media accounts for more details or ask us to be added to the Arklow Library weekly newsletter which keeps you updated on all the upcoming events.
Suzy, Edward and Callan went on their final end of year school outing to Jumpzone as Scoil San Eoin 6th class 2025 on Friday 20th June. Thank you to parents for organising and we hope you all had a great time.
Our Junior room had their end of year school tour on Friday at Secret Valley Park in Clonroache. The weather gods were looking after us and the children all had a fantastic time. 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.
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:
The children have been really enjoying these classes each week and you can see their confidence and skills developing each week.
Our Junior room pupils also got to complete a Tennis workshop. They really enjoyed this and there were lots of games and competitions with prizes. Everyone gave the tasks a super effort so well done to you all.
It has been a vey busy last few weeks of term 3 with activities and workshops and our pupils really enjoyed being active and getting outdoors!!
