Cumann na mBunscol Indoor Hurling & Camogie Finals

Congratulations to our pupils who took part in the Indoor hurling and camogie county finals in Buncrana on January 15th. Our girls were fantastic but were beaten at the semi final stage against the eventual winners Tooban. The boys came through a series of very tight games to finish as winners and worthy county champions. Our boys will progress to the Ulster Finals blitz later in the year.

Siopa na Scoile

Our ‘Siopa na Scoile/School Shop’ gives our 6th class the opportunity to run their own business, to actively use their Maths in everyday life and allows them to develop their skills in entrepreneurship. In previous years the siopa has been a great success and the children have gained greatly from the experience. Every year 6th Class use their profit to book a trip/experience to enjoy before they leave our school.

School Gaelic Football League

What a great 6 games we had in the round robin lead up to the Finals day on April 26th. The B Final between Liam's team and Leon's team was neck in neck all the way and some fantastic football played. Tom's team and Hugh's team provided more of the same quality and the future is bright for Gaelic football in Holy Family and indeed Aodh Ruadh if pupils continue to play with the same spirit and enthusiasm as we had on the day. Well done to all players.

Cycle bus is now underway for the remainder of the school year 2024

Welcome aboard again to all pupils, parents, teachers and our friends in other schools who will join the Cycle Bus for 2024. Make sure to always wear a helmet and hi-vis jacket and to check tyre pressure, brakes and bike maintenance before setting out Special thanks to the Gardaí for their ongoing support of the Cycle Bus.
