Great news! We received our 8th Green Flag at an awards ceremony in Athlone on May 21st. Congratulations and well done to the Green School committee for all their  hard work over the past two years. Take a look at some of their work here.

We recently launched, in conjunction with Geashill Tidy Towns, a re-use uniform scheme called, “Looks New to Me.” Anyone who has a uniform in good condition that is no longer used can drop it into the school. One of our parents has kindly volunteered to help organise this for us and all uniforms ready for re-use are hanging in our school entrance. Parents are free to take any that suits.

Well done to our pupils who won medals in Killeigh Community Games handwriting and art competitions. What a talented bunch! Best of luck to those who progressed to the Offaly finals.

This school now has high speed broadband connectivity through the Department of Education School Broadband Programme, delivered as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU.

We had a wonderful week of weather for our Active School Week 2024.  All our classes took part in a wide variety of activities each day.  Some of the activities included karate, line and Irish dancing, pilates, badminton, rounders, penalty shootouts, obstacle courses, football darts and much more.

Thanks to our Active School Committee for all their organising.  You can read lots more about our ASW 2024 here.
