Congratulations to our P7 pupil, Nyree, who was confirmed on Sunday 17th May in the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Nyree chose a confirmation name very relevant to our island community– Stella Maris Latin for "Star of the Sea". We wish Nyree, and her family, all the best as she continues on her journey of faith.

It was a busy day in school on Tuesday with pupils in the wee class completing their ‘Great Rathlin Bakeoff’. Pupils had to create their own masterpieces using all their maths kills on weighing having researched and sourced their ingredients during the week for instructional writing.

In the afternoon, pupils in the wee class joined the big class for WAU and they had to design a helmet for an egg. Working in groups they had to think about how to protect the egg when dropping it form a height. A great day of STEM!

We launched our first Shared Education project with Gaelscoil An Chaistil PS this month. Throughout the day, pupils took part in a range of exciting activities including LEGO challenges, Forest School activities and archery. These activities encouraged creativity, communication, problem-solving and cooperation while helping pupils build new friendships across schools. Go riabh maith agat to the staff and pupils of GnaC for travelling over. We look forward to a return visit later this month.
