Scór na nÓg All Ireland Final

Well done to our novelty act group Will Cooney, Harry Groome, Nicole Colgan, Emily Treacy, Niamh Ryan, Kayln Treacy, Conor Kinnane and Daniel Groome and their mentors Clare Ryan & Paula Stapleton on a fantastic performance in front of a huge Borrisoleigh support in the INEC, Killarney last Saturday evening, unfortunately the result didn’t go our way on the night. A fantastic achievement to get so far.

Thanks to great crowd turned out in the Marion Hall on Thursday night to wish our novelty act group well before they headed to Killarney. A special word of thanks to Mark Stapleton (Borris-Ileigh GAA), Tríona Fitzgerald (Borris-Ileigh Camogie) and Della Ryan (Ryan Chilling) who all made presentations to the group on the night.

 BIG TRAVEL CHALLENGE 2020  

The Green School Committee  is inviting all in Scoil Naomh Cualán  to take part in the BIG TRAVEL CHALLENGE 2020. We hope this challenge will encourage more pupils to enjoy the benefits of actively travelling to school in the month of February.

The aim of the challenge is to promote a sustainable mode of transport  for 10 days during the month of February. Our aim is to increase the numbers of pupils walking to school.  To spread the message of The Big Travel Challenge the Green-Schools committee visited each class to talk about the challenge.

We are asking pupils to make an extra special effort from Monday 10th February to Monday 25th  to walk to school for TEN DAYS.

Any parent willing to help out with this initiative please let us know by calling Clare in the office on 086-0233023. It would involve walking to school in the morning time with a group of children.
