On Friday 2nd December our TY students took part in #ThinkLanguages, a national event that promotes the benefits of learning languages. They took part in a variety of workshops including an introduction to sign language, drawing Chinese symbols and beginners Japanese.

Thank you to our student council for organising for the ISSU to come to our school to issue student ID cards.  Pictured are some of our Leaving Cert students collecting their cards!

Thank you to Ms. Kelly and her students for decorating our lovely Christmas tree this week!

Congratulations to Malachy Drew (6th year) on his sleep-out for the Shine-a-light campaign earlier this term. Malachy was presented with a certificate of achievement and fundraising of €620 through a non-uniform day in our school.

Thank you to Ballymote Garda and Family Resource Centre for inviting our choir and trad musicians to entertain local residents at the Coach House Hotel today.  Our choir and trad group sang and played to a full-house for an hour and completed their afternoon with 'Oh Holy Night' led by Garda Tara Lyons.  This was a wonderful day for the community which we were delighted to have the opportunity to be part of. Well done to all students involved and to Mr. O'Connor and Ms. Heaney McGreal who worked with the students in preparation.

Some footage of the afternoon is available at the links below:

Congratulations to the winners of our Maths Week Riddles on Friday 21st October!

The u14's Girls were out in action on 30th November against a very strong Coola Team.  The girls put in a great effort but unfortuately came out on the wrong side of the result. 

The girls now look forward to their last game of the year when they play Enniscrone in two weeks time! 

Our annual and highly popular Christmas Carol Service will take place next Tuesday 20th December at 2.15pm in Ballymote Church.  All are welcome to join us in person or online at ballymoteparish.org/webcam.
