Film Crew

This is “Tidy Ring of Gullion Week”  and all around the village,  people are cleaning up litter. Today whilst out doing their bit, our P6/7 class were filmed as part of a wider promotional film for the area organised by the Ring of Gullion. It was a great experience to work with a professional film crew. Watch out for “our stars” when the film goes out later in the year!

River Walk Posters

River Walk Posters

Have you been over the River Walk? Have you noticed some colorful posters with reminders about not littering? Have you been wondering what they are all about?

Well…they are the work of our talented and environmentally aware P6 and P6/7 classes who have combined learning about their town-lands with designing posters to remind everyone that littering is both an eyesore and a problem for our environment.

So why not take a stroll over the bridge and have a look, for yourself. It’s the perfect outdoor exhibition venue, but one with an important message whether you are in Mullaghbawn or Maphoner, Longfield or Shanroe or any other town land-

Take your litter home and put it in the bin!

 

Confirmation + Baptismal Certificates

Paula Mulkerns Board of Gov, News, P7 Blog, P7A Blog, Parish News

Dear P7 Parent,

Before the Sacrament of Confirmation can take place we will need a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate,  if they were baptised in any Parish other than the Parish of Forkhill. 

If you don’t have a copy of the certificate please telephone the Parochial House of the Parish in which your child was baptised and arrange to collect a copy or have it scanned and emailed to you.

Please email either of us at the addresses below to let us know if you are in this position.

Thank you in advance for your co-operation in this matter,

Miss Mulkerns + Mr Mc Coy.

Stations of the Cross by P6/7

Paula Mulkerns Board of Gov, News, Parish News, School Life, School News, School Trips, Seasonal

P6/7 have been learning about the Stations of the Cross and last week visited St Mary’s Church to complete some research as to what each of the 14 Station represents. They made some sketches whilst in the Chapel and these are put together in the video linked below as a reflection for everyone on this Good Friday, as we know many will not be able to visit the Church. We hope you enjoy and wish everyone a peaceful and happy Easter.

From P6/7

Congratulations to our Nursery children for jumping back into school life with ease. It is a credit to these very young children that they have adapted so well to their long awaited  return to the classroom, such a demonstration of resilience.  🌟🌟 We are so proud of you all.  Enjoy our St Patrick’s Day video. Have a super St Patrick’s Day.

Celebration ✨

Paula Mulkerns Board of Gov, News, Parish News, School Life, School News, Seasonal

We were blown away by the work carried out for our recent celebration of Catholic School’s Week and had to share a selection from our KS2 Classes. There was such a high level of participation that it was almost impossible to pick out samples for the video attached below.

This week we marked the beginning of Spring with St Brigid’s Day, we all hope for brighter days ahead… but the fantastic work of our boys and girls should swell everyone’s heart in our school community with PRIDE. Well done boys and girls… YOU ARE AMAZING!!!✨👏
