Congratulations to Odhrán Gavin, Rian Gavin and Charlie O’Malley on their recent success in the Credit Union Art Competition. The boys were presented with their prizes last Friday in Hotel Westport. It was a great evening of celebration.
Well done to all our senior room pupils who entered the competition.
The standard was very high from our school. Browse through the entries in the Gallery
Our Eco-Brick project is complete. The children had a wonderful week working alongside artist Nicky Dowd building their eco furniture. We built a table, bench and two stools. They are very sturdy and look fantastic. The furniture will be on display in Westport next weekend for Westival. I would like to thank all families for getting on board with this project. The positive response was uplifting. We filled a total of 108 2 and 3 litre plastic milk bottles with single use plastic, weighing a total of 33.1kg. A brilliant achievement! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sarah-Jane O’Malley for introducing us to the concept of eco-bricks. Both myself and Nicky are thrilled we were able to use the idea and create the furniture. It has raised a lot of awareness among the children about how we can reduce our waste and help the environment tying in very well with our Green Schools initiative.
This year we joined forces with Lecanvey NS for the Cumann na mBunscol Mini Sevens competition. Being a knock-out competition this year our games were few. We enjoyed our days out look forward to our next Cumann na mBunscol outing in the Spring.
The Senior room have been very busy preparing their exhibits for the Credit Union Art Competition. See their work below! We wish them every success in this competition. Well done everyone.
