Inspection Report on SEN provision in Geashill NS

Our garden is looking really well with some newly planted flowers.  All classes are taking turns to water and maintain it.

We have planted our vegetable garden too.

There are some lovely examples of art work on display all around the school.

Tough luck to our football team who narrowly lost out to Cloneygowan in the Cumann na mBunscol final in O’Connor Park on Wednesday.  We played some wonderful football and showed huge fighting spirit and determination but it just wasn’t enough on the day.  Well done to Cloneygowan for their performance and win.

The school will be closed on Friday 25th May as it is being used as a polling station for the referendum.

New Junior Infants visit school and Parents’ Meeting on Wednesday 6th June at 2.15pm.  Triple P Positive Parenting in attendance also.

Congratulations to the boys and girls in 2nd Class who celebrated their First Holy Communion on Saturday 12th May.  Thanks to the parent co-ordinators, Ms. Leonard and Msgr. Coonan for all their work throughout the year.  A big word of thanks to all the boys and girls who gave up their Saturday morning to sing in the choir.  Thanks also to all the parents who brought them to the church.

Well done to our 6th Class pupil who recently came second in the Offaly Cumann na mBunscol Skills Competition.

Pupils in all classes became authors over the past couple of weeks and wrote books on a wide variety of topics.  Lots of planning, creating and hard work resulted in some excellent books. This was part of the Write-A-Book Project organised by the Laois Education Centre. Well done to the children, teachers and parents for a great team effort.
