May the 4th be with you! It's #StarWarsDay and the children are really getting into character. #Roleplay has great benefits for children; developing their social skills, empathy & imagination. It's great fun too! #aistear #play #MayThe4thBeWithYou #schooldays

The students are enjoying #music lessons out in the fresh air with local musician & tutor, Mary Graham. The sound of beating #drums can probably be heard across the valley as far as Croghan Hill ⛰ #wellbeing #holisticeducation #musiceducation

Decorating a #MayBush is an ancient Irish tradition to signal the first day of Summer in which children would tie colourful ribbons, papers or tinsel to a hawthorn tree. It was believed that this would bring good luck and protection to our food crops and milk yield @duchas_ie

Our Junior room makeover

Back to school was made easier for our senior class by their classroom receiving a dramatic makeover over the summer

Our new school crest to coincide with our name change #ballycoog 2019-2020 school year has begun.

Our Confirmation Class enjoyed a great outing to Glendalough with the Confirmation Class of Scoil San Eoin in Redcross. On our retreat we visited the Holy Well of St Kevin and other locations associated with Kevin of Glendalough. Big thanks to Fr Pat of the Tearmann Centre.

Beautiful Ballycoog on St Brigid's Day. Unfortunately, Grandparents Day had to be rescheduled until next Friday, February 8th. The Gorey Credit Union Quiz scheduled for tonight has been cancelled,
