On Wednesday 22nd June we celebrated our 6th Class at their graduation ceremony. We thanked them for their wonderful contribution to our school and we wished them well for the future.  It was a day full of music, song, poetry and ice cream!

We held a pizza party on Thursday to celebrate all the wonderful work the pupils have done this year.

Here are some of the highlights from our school year.

We received the great news that the school has been awarded an Amber Flag for our work this year on wellbeing and positive mental health. Well done to our Student Council, Ms. Walsh and Ms. Daly for leading us in this area.

We look forward to raising the flag before the summer holidays.

You can find out more about the Amber Flag programme here.

We presented 6th Class with their Class of 22 hoodies this week. They’re looking forward to wearing them for their last few weeks in Geashill NS.

3rd & 4th Classes went on their school tour on Monday to the Technological University Shannon in Athlone while 5th & 6th followed in their footsteps on Tuesday.  They took part in the Let’s Go school tour activities.  They all had a great time.

Raheen GAA Club recently held a very successful fundraising event – The Yvonne and Emmet O’Connor Memorial Cycle.  The club has very generously  decided to donate some of the proceeds to local and community organisations, including our school. A cheque for €1000 was presented to the principal on Saturday 28th May. Thanks to everyone in Raheen GAA for their generosity and continued support.

We were delighted to hear a few weeks ago that the school has been awarded its 7th Green Flag by An Taisce. The theme we have all been focusing on for this flag has been Global Citizenship and Energy. Well done to everyone in the school for their work in this area. A special congratulations to Ms. Galvin and our Green School Committee  for leading us all so enthusiastically. The online awards ceremony is taking place on Wednesday 25th May and we are looking forward to being a part of it.

On Thursday, as part of the Amber Flag initiative, we went on a walk through the village to promote wellbeing and positive mental health.  Thanks to the everyone who contributed to our collection for Pieta House. €450 has been raised so far.
