It will be updated every Wednesday and all items for inclusion should be emailed to info@borrisoleigh.ie by 8pm on Tuesday. We will continue to include advertising for charitable/non-profit making events in the Current News page.

 Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig!! 

The boys of 5th and 6th created six group pictures to celebrate our patron saint, St. Patrick during ‘Seachtain na Gaeilge’. They also painted individual pictures of our patron saint that can be seen displayed on our room windows.  The boys also enjoyed an afternoon card game.

The boys of 5th and 6th class have been learning about Road Safety. With the fine weather we’ve been having, some of the boys have begun to cycle to school and so we looked at Bike Safety in particular. The boys looked at educational videos, studied road signs and learned the rules of the road. We went through a checklist of all the features a bike must have to be road worthy and also the importance of wearing a helmet at all times was highlighted.
