We took two separate tours this year to the same venue – Finn Valley Centre. All the children took part in a day of sporting activities and games and some of them even got to meet boxer Jason Quigley and see the coastguard helicopter up close!
Our thanks to the Parents Association for their contribution towards the cost of the buses for the tours. The children all had a fantastic day out and arrived home happy and tired!

The girls soccer team competed in a 7 a side county final this week in Ballyare, Letterkenny. They all had a great day out and played excellent football. Unfortunately, the results didn’t go their way but well done to all the girls for their hard work. Congratulations on reaching the county final!
The children of 5th & 6th Classes held a cake sale at the school recently where they all baked at home and sold their ‘goodies’ to the pupils and staff of the school. They wanted to make a donation to a local charity from the money raised and decided to donate to the Bluestack Foundation.
Well done to all the pupils to baked the cakes and buns, and for making their donation to the Bluestack Foundation – a very worthwhile local charity.
Congratulations to our Sportshall Athletes who competed today in the County Finals at the Aura Centre in Letterkenny. In a closely contested final, they came second by the narrowest of margins – just two points. Well done to all the children who took part in the event.
Today the whole school took part in ’10 @ 10′ as part of our ongoing Active School Project. All the children (and Teachers/Sna’s!) took part in ten minutes of exercise at 10.00am on the 10th day of the month. Click on a photograph to enlarge and see more!

The pupils of 5th & 6th Classes were learning about business and decided to hold a bake sale. They advertised in the school and most of the children baked some goodies which they would then sell at the bake sale. It was a huge success with plenty of eager customers queuing up to buy the stock! When the sale was over, the ‘company’ had to pay back their suppliers (the parents and guardians!) and any profit made will be used for pupil benefits.

Our U11 girls Indoor Football Team competed in the County Indoor Football final blitz in Burnfoot on Monday 12th December. The girls qualified for this by winning the Southern Division and competed against five other regional winners on the day. The girls defeated Glengad and Fintown to progress to the County Final against Scoil Iosagaín Buncrana, where they were defeated by the smallest of margins 1-08 to 1-07. As this competition was open to all schools in Donegal it was a great achievement as the girls were competing against much larger schools. 48 schools took part in the competition so well done to our girls on a great achievement!
