FAI Primary 5’s Competetion

Glenmore N.S competed for the first time in the FAI Primary 5’s Football Competition. The competition took place in Thomastown United’s outstanding facilities and we entered boys and girls teams from 4th – 6th classes. We played against schools of similar size and population from the South Kilkenny area. All teams competed really well and really enjoyed the day. One of our boys teams won all their matches and have progressed to the next round. 

A big thank you to Mr. Walsh and Miss Cody for looking after the teams on the day and to Mr. Murphy for looking after the admin. 

Grandparents/Special Persons Day 26th of March

On the 26th of March we are inviting our student’s Grandparents/Special Persons to come in to school and visit our classes. We would love to hear some stories about school long ago from willing participants! The school will be open to visitors from 1pm – 2.30pm on the day. Parents of current and incoming students are more than welcome also and refreshments will be served on the day. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Thank you Yvonne!

The staff and pupils of Glenmore National School would like to say a big ‘Go raibh maith agat’ to Yvonne Knight, Mullinavat. Yvonne recently donated a beautiful collection of knitted dolls and characters to the school. 

The children and staff of the school are very grateful to receive her wonderful creations. These will be treasured and enjoyed by all. Míle buíochas!

 

Red Kettle Theatre Company Show 2026

Our friends in the Red Kettle Theatre Company brightened up a dreary wet Friday today. Old friends of the school, they came to visit again today to put on their performance ‘A Tremendous Terrible Tantrum’. The pupils really enjoyed it as always and were part of the dialogue and character dress up. See the slide show below for some fun photos. Looking forward to next year already!

Nollaig Shona Dhaoibh Go Léir!

The principal and staff of SN Shéamuis Naofa would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year. 

Today the children had their Christmas performance in the Parish Hall. Juniors – 2nd classes performed their Nativity play  ‘A Sleepy Shepherd’. There was fantastic display of singing, dancing and acting from all the boys and girls from junior end of the school. 

The senior end of the school gave a wonderful melody of popular Christmas tunes as well as some traditional favourite songs, such a ‘The Rattlin’ Bog’ . The audience really played their part and got involved with their cheerful clapping. Well done to all the pupils and their teachers for all the preparation work. 

A big thank you to The Parents Association who organised the raffle and distributed the prizes. The raffle was a huge success and thanks to all who supported.
