First Class School Tour

The First Class children were delighted with their visit to Explorium in Sandyford. They were so well behaved and everyone had a great time. Many thanks to all the parents who came  along with us on the day to help out.

Active School Week 2026

Active School Week was a week filled with laughter, energy and teamwork. This unforgettable experience was made possible by the incredible generosity and spirit of our local sports groups who stepped up to share their expertise and passion. We are deeply grateful for the contributions, which provided the children with not just high-quality coaching, but a true sense of community belonging. Many thanks to Richie from Raheny Shamrocks, the coaches from Raheny United, Gary from Raheny GAA and Mairéad from Dance AMAD for  making is all possible.

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day!

There is always a special 'magic' in the air during Seachtain na Gaeilge. The children enjoyed performing their songs and poems at Assembly to celebrate our annual Lá Glas.

Christmas in Naíscoil íde

​Schools Award 2025!!

The whole school community was extra busy this year making the grounds as attractive as possible for everyone to enjoy. The children learned about the importance of caring for our environment and how we all play a part in ensuring that our school grounds provide inviting habitats for bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators.
​A special thanks to the Parents' Association, Graeme, Anne and all the children who worked so hard throughout the year to create pollinator-friendly habitats. 
We were visited by members of DCC who were really impressed with the knowledge of our young students and how the whole school community work to support biodiversity and raise awareness.  Mrs Mescal was so proud of the children's efforts and knowledge of those who met with the DCC.  They were delighted when she presented them all with an extra special prize today. 
We were so delighted when DCC announced us as the winning school in July! Well done to all involved!
