Thank you Laura and Oisin for lighting our candle today to mark the feast of the Epiphany!

We held our very special Christmas Carol Service on Tuesday 20th December in Ballymote Church.  Congratulations to our wonderful choir and musicians on their beautiful singing and music which brought Christmas joy not only to those present but to many who joined online.  Thank you to all involved in the preparations of the service from students and teachers to members of the local community.  Thank you to Fr. James McDonagh who celebrated with us and permitted us to have the church for the afternoon.

Our students held a Christmas Jumper Day on Monday 19th December in aid of St. Vincent de Paul.  Students raised €400 and pictured here are Maureen, representing SVP along with 6th year students Laura, Alanna and Tiernan who presented Maureen with the cheque on behalf of the school.  We hope that this donation will help some families locally over the Christmas period.

Our TY students spent last week on work placement!  Pictured here is Darragh Colsh who was placed in Rathcormac National School.  Thank you to the school for accepting Darragh!

Thank you to our TY students for creating our Christmas Newsletter, which is attached. This newsletter celebrates all that is going on in our school along with the achievements of our wonderful students! 

We wish all students, staff and their families a well-deserved and happy Christmas and we look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Thursday 5th January 2023!

Congratulations to our current 6th year students who were recently nominated for a 'Schools Group/Class' award with the Cathaoirleach of Sligo Co. Co.  Ms. Carty nominated the group following their efforts in fundraising for the Ukraine while they were in 5th year.  The Cathaoirleach issued a certificate of nomination to the students! Well done on your achievement!

Our TY student Kayla Clancy is working with Centra Gurteen for her week of work placement this week!  Pictured here are some mince pies that Kayla helped bake and dust with icing sugar! Thank you to Centra Gurteen for having Kayla with them this week!

Our TY students are on work placement this week, despite the cold weather!  Pictured here are Lorraine Dunleavy and Rachel Taylor who are both placed in Scoil Chroi Naofa in Bunninnaden.  Thank you to the school for accepting both students!

Our students along with Ms. McGrath and Ms. Kelly organised a food collection for the St. Vincent de Paul.  There were very generous donations made - huge thanks to all those who gave to the appeal.

We welcomed Maureen and Eithne from SVP today, Thursday 15th to meet with the students and receive the items donated. 

Well done to all!
