Our first year Art class were busy on Friday 25th November working with the manipulation and design of clay with their teacher Ms. McGrath

Sincere thanks to Monica McElhinney from Focus Ireland who visited our school on Friday 25th November for dual purposes.  Monica gave a very enlightening talk to our TY students on the work that Focus Ireland do and following this, she presented the school with a cheque to represent the recent fundraiser that we held to support Malachy Drew (6th year) on his sleep-out for the Shine-a-light campaign earlier this term. Aisling Murphy, TY co-ordinator and Michelle McDermott, Principal accepted the cheque on Malachi's behalf. 

The 2nd year German class had a great trip to Sligo on 24th November to watch a German Film (Der Pfad - the path) in The Model Sligo. This was a great opportunity for students to be exposed to the subject in a fun way. The film itself was very interesting and thought provoking with links to history.  The students not only enjoyed the film but also the mandatory retail therapy time before the return train to Ballymote. 

Congratulations to Lesley Ann Sweeney (3rd year) and her Connacht U-15 team mates on their performance in Dublin last weekend!  The Connacht team achieved 2nd place in the competitions and Lesley Ann and the girls now await news as to the next stages they will progress to. Best of luck!

Congratulations to all our current TY and 5th year students who received their Junior Cycle results on Wednesday 23rd November!

Our TY students have been very busy wrapping and filling shoe boxes for the Christmas Shoe Box appeal.  They have over 30 boxes almost ready to go with the Ballymote Shoe Box contingent in November.  The TY class will work with Jennifer Irwin after mid-term break to organise the collection for the town.  Well done all!

We present Lesley Ann Sweeney (3rd year) and congratulate her on her soccer achievements this year. Lesley Ann has been participating in trials for the past few weeks for the U-15 Girls Connacht Soccer team and her hard work has paid off with her now playing in centre mid-field for the Connacht team!

Lesley Ann and her team mates will play in a tournament this coming weekend in Dublin - we wish you the very best of luck Lesley Ann!

Heartiest congratulations to our Senior GAA Boys team who won the D final of the John Kent Sports Sligo/Leitrim Senior championship last evening in the Dome, Bekan.  Colaiste Muire's score count of 1-23 surpassed Lough Allen's 2-07 to secure the cup.  Well done to all students and staff involved!

Our Opening School mass took place in Ballymote Church on Thursday 27th October. What a wonderful celebration of our school and an uplifting end to what has been a long, busy and enjoyable term. Many thanks to Fr. James for celebrating our mass and having us in the church.  Thanks to all involved in the preparations, reading, singing and music.  

Our Home Ec students have been creating beautiful Halloween bakes this week! Hopefully, they will try them out at home and treat their families!
