Carol Singing




Christmas carol singing raising money

6th class went to Eyre Square shopping centre in December to raise money to support the GSPCA and their work to prevent cruelty to animals.  We spent many weeks practicing for that day.  Ms  Gohery  and Ms Downes were very kind to conduct the choir. We sang a wide range of Christmas carols.   Caoimhe, Sam and Adam shook buckets and collected money  from all the Christmas shoppers.  We were delighted to raise over €500 for this worthy cause.  We really enjoyed the day and especially  the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping of our own.

The Victorious Galway U16 Camogie team visit our school


In December we were delighted to congratulate the All Ireland u16 camogie champions in our school.  One particular team member is a past pupil of our school.  Her name is Carrie Dolan.  She brought the All Ireland cup with her to show all the children.  The whole school went to the G.P. room to hear her advice about practising our camogie at home.  She was very good to sign our jerseys.  Carrie plays in centre forward  for Galway team.
