School Council
In January 2023, we held elections for our first school council. Pupils from Juniors to Sixth class were elected onto the students council. They meet monthly in the halla and this provides a place for elected students to voice their opinions and offer suggestions in relation to different aspects of school life.

Buddy Reading
To promote the love of reading we had a buddy reading programme between the children in the junior and senior classes. This was a great success as all children loved the reading experience and also made friends for life.
Debating
We encourage the children to construct a debate around a given topic. This is great fun for the children but is also a very good mental exercise.
Seachtain na Gaeilge
‘Sé an fís atá againn i S.N. Eochaille Ara ná go mbeadh na páistí ábalta an Ghaeilge a úsáid mar theanga chaidrimh. Chuige sin, úsaideamar gaeilge sa scoil i rith Seachtain na Gaeilge. D’éirigh go hiontach linn. Bhí ceol, caint agus píosa craic againn. An Ghaeilge abú ! Ina dhiaidh sin, bhí Lá Glas againn. Tugadh cuireadh do no páistí éadaí glasa a chaitheamh in áit éadaí scoile don ócáid. Ghlac siad leis an gcuireadh!
Literacy Lift Off
Literacy Lift Off is an intervention that gives children lots of opportunities to read books at their own level of competency and gradually lift the complexity of what they can do in both reading and writing.
