The End of Year Attendance Awards took place at assembly today. Well done to all the pupils who won prizes!

A huge thank you to all of you who have donated to our Summer Fun Day Fundraiser to raise money for our new solar panels. So far we have raised €2,429.50!

A big thank you also goes to our lunch provider Glanmore, who kindly donated the cost of the ice cream van and bouncy castle yesterday!

The solar panels were installed last Friday by Solis Green Energy. We were also provided with a display screen which shows us a live reading of how much solar power we are generating.

Once again, thank you all for your very generous support!

The children had a wonderful day at our Fun Day Fundraiser today!

Bouncy Castle, playground games, ice cream and a disco with DJ Donnelly!

Today was an exciting day for St Gabriel’s NS, which saw the solar panels installed on our roof.

Check out the pictures below with some “before” drone footage, some pictures of the work being done and some “after” photos of the panels in place!

Some fun in the sun today in Junior Infants.

Today, our Junior Infants had a wonderful time at their Teddy Bear’s Picnic! Despite the weather, the teddies were cuddly and the smiles were endless. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special, especially our fantastic 5th Class helpers whose kindness and enthusiasm made the event a big success!

We’re excited to share this week’s Lámh Sign – it’s a word we use every day… School!

Learning how to sign “School” is a great way to support communication and inclusion in classrooms, at home, and in the community. Let’s get signing!

👉 How to sign School:

Left Hand (L.H.): Use an ‘l’ handshape, palm facing upwards and diagonally forward in front of your chest.

Right Hand (R.H.): Use an ‘s’ handshape, palm facing sideways.

Movement: Bring your R.H. up to your forehead.

That’s it – you’ve just signed “School”! 👏

💡Tip: Practice the sign a few times slowly, then try it in a sentence like “Going to school” or “I like school”.

Keep an eye out for our next Lámh Sign of the Week – and happy signing! ✋😊
