We held our annual Sports Day before the summer holidays. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day with lots of fun team games and activities. We are very lucky to have the use of our yard, pitch and soft play area for these days.

We recently enjoyed our annual end of year walk to the seashore to explore the local coastal environment. During the visit, the children observed a variety of plants and animals living along the shoreline and investigated different habitats, including rock pools and sandy areas. The trip provided a valuable opportunity for hands-on learning and helped the children develop a greater appreciation and understanding of the rich biodiversity found on our local coastline. It was al

As part of the Say Yes to Languages programme, 5th/6th class pupils participated in ten weeks of French lessons with Julien Porzadny. Learning French is helping our pupils develop communication skills in another language and also develops an appreciation of culture in another European country.

Last week, our class reached the grand finale of our science project: releasing five beautiful butterflies into the school yard. We enjoyed observing the caterpillars over the past few weeks.

Junior infants to 4th class had a wonderful school tour to the Sligo ATU to participate in multi-activity sports activities. The sun shone and great fun was had by all.

Our centenary celebrations turned into a memorable day that brought together pupils, staff, families, and the wider community. The celebrations reflected not only the rich history of our school, but also the strong sense of belonging that continues to define it today. The day began with a beautiful Mass in the Star Of The Sea Church. Following the ceremony, celebrations continued back at the school, where refreshments were served by our hard working Parents Association. The

Our 5th and 6th class pupils recently carried out a series of fun and engaging science experiments, exploring key scientific ideas through hands-on learning. Dancing Raisins Pupils placed raisins in a glass of fizzy drink and observed them “dance” up and down. This happens because carbon dioxide gas bubbles stick to the rough surface of the raisins, lifting them to the top. When the bubbles pop, the raisins sink again. This experiment helped explain gas, density, and buoyancy

Well done to our boys and girls who played two very competitive matches against Dromore West NS and Cloonacool NS respectively. Best of luck to Drumore West and Cloonacool who progress to the next stage of the competition.

We received 5 caterpillars into our classroom last week. We are looking forward to watching them grow into butterflies.

Head of Academy Conor O'Grady joined Leah Kelly for a fun football session with all our pupils on Tuesday. Thank you for visiting our school.

Our students proudly took part in the Easkey St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We celebrated our school's centenary year as we walked through the village. We brought history to life by showcasing the contrast between the pupils of 1926 and those of today, 2026. This display highlighted how much school life has changed over the past 100 years. In preparation for the parade and as part of our centenary celebrations, the children have been exploring what school was like in the past, lea

Our 5th and 6th class pupils hosted a very successful school shop recently. They used their maths skills, communication and presentation skills and lots of creativity in developing their own business ideas. The school shop was the culmination of 8 weeks of hard work as part of the Sams Business Bus programme. Well done everyone!

Everyone had great fun taking part! ☘️
