Well done to Isabella Kearney on finishing second at the All-Ireland Schools Track & Field Championships in Tullamore on Saturday. Isabella delivered a superb performance to bring home a silver national medal in the Intermediate Hammer. What a fantastic achievement — congratulations, Bella! 👏
Well done also to Benjamin Byrne Dempsey, who competed in both the Intermediate High Jump and Long Jump. Although he just missed out on a medal this year, representing at this level is a tremendous accomplishment.
Congratulations to both of you on your outstanding performances and for representing your school so proudly. 👏🏅

We were delighted to be able to donate our flowers from our 6th year graduation to

Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board

💐 A little bloom of kindness goes a long way 💐

We are so grateful to the Deputy Principals of Davitt College, for donating this stunning floral spray from their Leaving Cert Graduation Night 🎓 Their beautiful display was far too lovely to simply let go to waste, and they chose to share it with us so it could continue to be enjoyed. Their thoughtful gesture brings colour, comfort, and a gentle reminder of the kindness that blossoms within our community 🌺🌷🪻

Creative Schools in Action! A massive well done to our fantastic 5th year art students who engaged with the design thinking element of their curriculum and approached a court yard in the school with artistic flare. Their hard work and generosity with their time and talents have been greatly appreciated by the whole school community. A thank you also to their Art teacher Ms Joanne Hopkins and Creative Schools Coordinator, Ms Morley, for their guidance with the project. Phase 2 is to continue in September, we’re looking forward to seeing this space evolving further. A huge thanks to Albany Castlebar for their sponsorship of some of our paint supplies.

Turas Gaeltachta Bliain 1 go Coláiste Acla-The First Years had a fantastic trip to Coláiste Acla, Achill Island where they enjoyed a range of activities including surfing, cliff jumping and bog snorkelling. This was followed by a delicious lunch of anraith agus ceapairí and the day was topped off by paddling and sunbathing and party ar an trá! Gach rud trí mheán na Gaeilge! Míle buíochas le Ms. Hoban, Mr.Comer, Ms. O’Hara agus Treasa O’Connor who accompanied the students on their trip! Memories made in the beautiful Achill sunshine! Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Bèarla cliste! 💚🤍😎
