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 opening of the new extension took place at the end of the school year 2016/2017. An opening ceremony and blessing was held on the day and the extension was opened by Fr. Seamus Gallagher, Chairperson of the Board of Management, along with Rose Meehan, the longest serving employee of St. Naul’s N.S. Also present were Councillor Noel Jordan, a great supporter of the school, and Brendan McCole, past pupil and current county GAA player.
All the children presented a show based on the theme of our new school logo, and the songs and stories were much enjoyed by all present!

The Parents Association of St. Naul’s National School would like to thank everyone who came along to support our fundraising walk/cycle/run over the summer holidays. This is an important fundraiser for the school and all the support from the local and school community was much appreciated.
The events began with the children’s cycle, when the younger children took part in cycling activities on the school yard, while the older children undertook a cycle route along the road (with their Garda escort!). They all had great fun and helped to raise money for the school.
We then held our annual cycle/walk/run, which this year incorporated a 5k walk/run or a 30/60k cycle. As always, this event was well supported by our local school and wider community.
In particular, we would like to thank Sean Gallagher for all his work every year in organising the event, and Brian McCabe for the organisation of the walk/run. Thanks to all the Guards, Drivers, First Aiders, Marshals, Timekeepers, people who helped with posters and signage, registration, parking, and those who helped with refreshments on the day. Particular thanks also to some of the sponsors for the day, namely Malachy Byrne of Byrnes Butchers in Dunkineely, Brenda Gallagher of Brenda’s Beauty Salon in Inver, and Tom Dunleavy of Holmes Service Station in Donegal Town.

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!
