Best of luck to our Rose Nicole
Best of luck to our Rose Nicole
The teachers, staff, pupils, and entire school community would like to send our heartfelt support and best wishes to our past pupil Nicole Heffernan as she represents Offaly in the Rose of Tralee next week.
The staff and children were thrilled when Nicole visited us in June. She took the time to meet with the pupils and answer their questions about her journey so far in the Rose of Tralee. The children learned a great deal from her, and she shared some valuable insights and advice during her visit.
One of the key messages she shared was the importance of kindness — how a simple smile or a kind word can make a big difference in someone's day. She is a fantastic ambassador for our school, our community, and our county, and we couldn’t be prouder of her.
We are incredibly proud of Nicole and wish her the very best of luck in this exciting journey

It's become a rite of passage for every 6th class pupil to learn about the history and heritage of our parish. Every year we are honoured to have Fr John Stapleton lead our 6th class group on a tour of our local historical sites. This trip always proves to be very popular with teachers and pupils alike. We are very grateful to Fr John for sharing his knowledge with us.
