• P6/7 Cumann na mBunscol Skills Day

  Wed 22 Apr 2026

  Our P6/7 pupils recently took part in a fantastic Cumann na mBunscol Skills Day in Dunloy today. The event provided a wonderful opportunity for the children to develop their hurling skills in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment.

  Throughout the day, pupils participated in a range of activities designed to improve their striking, ground hurling skills and teamwork. They showed great enthusiasm, determination, and sportsmanship, and it was brilliant to see everyone getting involved and encouraging one another.

  Common Symptoms Include:

  • Severe headache

  • Neck stiffness

  • Sensitivity to light

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Confusion or difficulty concentrating

  • In some cases, a rash

  Prevention Tips:

  • Avoid close contact with individuals who are unwell

  • Seek medical advice if symptoms appear

  When to Seek Help:
  If a student shows signs of meningitis, seek immediate medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical.

• Trócaire Sponsored Walk 2026

  Thu 12 Mar 2026

  Yesterday, we took part in a Sponsored Walk in support of this year’s Trócaire Lenten campaign. Pupils and staff enjoyed a wonderful day walking together while raising awareness of the important work Trócaire carries out around the world.

  Thanks to the incredible generosity of our pupils, families, and staff, we raised a fantastic £579 for Trócaire. This money will help support communities facing poverty and injustice and make a real difference to those in need.

  We would like to sincerely thank everyone who sponsored our pupils, Catriona in the bar for the well earned snacks and everyone who helped make the event such a success. Go raibh maith agaibh!
