9th Jan 2026

Today, we held our first whole-school assembly of 2026, and as ever it was an inspiring start to the new year. 

Congratulations to Evie (P1), Eabha Marie (P2), Krystian (P3), Leigha (P4), Hollie (P5), Olivia (P6) and Oisin (P7) who are this week's Pupils of the Week.

Over the Christmas period we had a number of pupils who celebrated their birthdays so in Assembly we sent birthday wishes to Mya (P6), Jacob (P5), Evie (P4), Meabh (P1), Dara (P3), Caiden (P1), Aoibhlinn (P2), Krystian (P3), Conaire (P3), Jack (P6) and Riley (P1).

Also, during the Christmas period it was very encouraging to see that many of our pupils continued to use the Mathletics app. Certificates were presented to Dara, Niamh, Krystian, Noah in Primary 3, Aidan, Maol and Eoin in Primary 4 and Tom in Primary 6.

Here’s to another year filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable achievements.
