We have achieved the Blue Star award for our school! Many thanks to Maria Walsh MEP, Senator Michael Carrigy and Joe Flaherty TD for visiting our school to aid us in obtaining this certification. Our International/Europe Day was a great success and the senior classes really enjoyed the kahoot quizzes that Blue star flag emailed Mr Leonard. Well done everyone!

This year, our school will be pursuing the Blue Star Flag. Here are some of our students greeting you in different languages and even counting!
The Blue Star Flag is an education initiative for primary school pupils across Ireland. The idea of the Programme is simple: to foster better understanding and knowledge of the European Union and how it affects the lives of Irish citizens among primary pupils through classroom projects and activities. |
