Rugby Star Visits Glenmore N.S!
Today was an incredible day for the staff and pupils of Glenmore N.S. As part of the ‘Dare to Believe’ program we were paid a visit by Ireland women’s rugby star Stacey Flood. Stacey spoke to the children about how she became a professional rugby player and the challenges she faced. She spoke about hard work, perseverance and the setbacks she faced on her journey to becoming an Olympian and Ireland international rugby player. She gave the children a quiz and then spent quite some time answering questions and signing autographs.
We would like to thank Stacey for coming and giving time out of her busy schedule. We are very grateful to her and wish her the best in the upcoming Women’s 6 Nations. A big well done to all the staff and children for the fantastic artwork displayed around the school. A special mention to Mr. Murphy for co-coordinating the event and for the fantastic large murals he created with the help of the students. Maith thú!

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.

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!

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!
