Student Council 2024 -2025

We can’t believe we are fast approaching the end of 1st term! We had a fun-filled day on 13th December marking the beginning of the Christmas festivities. We look forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus next week at our Carol Service.
Our special Pyjamas, Movie and Hot Chocolate day started with a colouring competition, followed by a movie. Pupils were able to come to school wearing pyjamas and festively dressed. Pupils brought a small treat from home and also some blankets/teddies/pillows.
When the movie was over, the Student Council served out some popcorn and hot chocolate. Everyone enjoyed our Christmas Karaoke session outside during yard time.
We went home tired and in good spirits! 🙂

To mark the beginning of half-term, we celebrated with a fun Show and Tell event. Everyone had a wonderful time and we, the Student Council, enjoyed putting all the plans in place for the event.

In September, a new team of students were elected onto the Student Council. We are Lisa, Amy, Amelia McA, Luke, Amelia G, Theodore, and Danny. We are also delighted to have Emily on the team who was re-elected for a second year.

In the lead up to Election Day, all candidates worked hard to earn votes and bravely delivered speeches to the whole school.

Student Council 2023-2024

On June 19th, we held a cake sale in Hall Street to raise funds for our ongoing school yard equipment project. It was a resounding success with a total of €749 raised. We enjoyed helping Mrs. McBride set up the stalls and were there to serve all the many customers from the community. We are so thankful to the parents and grandparents who provided many delicious treats and plants for the sale. The event was made even more special with the celebration of International Day held at the other end of the hall! There was a wonderful atmosphere and it was a lovely way to end the year.

The sales of our shopper bags came to €605! We were able to use this money to purchase 2 sets of monkey bars for the school yard. The students have really enjoyed playing on them during break time.

We would like to thank everyone who purchased a bag and who participated in the endeavour from the beginning, especially to David at DJB Art & Design Creations for designing the final layout for the bags.

The whole school took part in a table quiz to mark the beginning of Half-Term. We had a really fun time together. Well done to the winning team, Team 1! Use your golden tickets wisely!
