Annual Halloween Sponsored Walk 2026
Our annual pupil sponsored walk took place in Avoca today. Pupils were split into 2 groups and they completed the Red Kite walk and saw the beautiful nature that surrounds them and then completed a tour of the wooden mills @ Avoca Handweavers.
Here they got to learn all about the history of the Avoca mills and learned about weaving. They both then switched so that everyone got to take part in both.
Everyone really enjoyed it and the weather was glorious for us! A huge thank you to our parent volunteers who came with us and also thank you to the staff of Avoca handweavers for being so welcoming!
Our pupils will have their sponsor cards until after the Halloween mid term break so please support them if you can!
They all done a fantastic job today and we're brilliant!
Well done everyone!!

Our bike shelter..Full to capacity!!
Our new bike shelter is being well used this week as we began bike skills with Cycling Ireland. It's wonderful to see the shelter at full capacity and being utilised. Pupils from 1st-6th class began week 1 of their bike skills course with tutor Hugh Arthur. We are hoping that this will give pupils the confidence and skills to cycle to school or cycle when they can.

On Wednesday 23rd Sept, our bike skills course funded by Cycling Ireland commenced for our pupils in 1st to sixth class.

The pupils really enjoyed the session and are looking forward to next week already. Thank you to instructor Hugh.
Well done everyone!

We received a beautiful creative donation from Tess Arthur for the upcoming Harvest mass on Sunday. The detail, time & hard work that has went into this is fantastic. Thank you so much to Tess, the children will absolutely love seeing this in the school grounds after the mass has taken place.
Harvest creations by our Junior room!
Our pupils from the Junior room were given the task from Ms Nuzum to collect and create displays of natural autumnal items found outside for the Harvest Mass. Our pupils were all very creative and we had some beautiful pieces to display in the church.
Well done to all our pupils and parents for collecting all the important materials needed!! They all look wonderful.
Harvest Art from our Senior room pupils
Our pupils were asked by the parish council to design some artwork for the Harvest mass in Barranisky Church on Sunday 20th Sept.
Our pupils got straight to work and these are some examples of the wonderful creations designed. We had lots of different colour tractors bailing hay in preparation for the harvest with a beautiful sunset in the background!
They all turned out beautiful. Well done everyone!!
Opening of the school year service
On Wednesday 9th Sept, we began our school year with an opening prayer service with the theme ‘Happiness’ led by Fr Murphy & Elaine from Avoca Parish.
Our pupils got to think of all the things that we are thankful for. Fr Michael blessed & lit a special candle for our school which was presented to our Principal Ms Greene at the end of the service.
Some of our pupils presented items that represented faith, learning, art, sport & nature during the service and completed prayers of the faithful and readings which were all done beautifully.
It was a very special service to celebrate the start of a new school year. Thank you to all the pupils who participated in the service and well done.
Thank you also to Fr. Murphy & Elaine for coming to the school to visit and for delivering a beautiful service.
