Glenmore National School

Unfortunately the end of summer term also brings the end of primary school for our 6th class. Our fantastic 6th class said their goodbyes, all looking forward to what the future will bring. We had our graduation mass with Fr. Taylor and then our final assembly/graduation ceremony in the Parish Hall. The graduating class all spoke individually about their experiences and memories in Glenmore N.S. Mr. Walsh spoke about each student and their qualities and personalities! The class rounded off with their version of the Cranberries song ‘Dreams’ to bring to an end a very happy and emotional day. Best wishes to  Stephen, Ruairí, CJ, Brody, Noah, Danny, Nora, Emma Jane, Kate and Rachel in their future endeavors and they will always be welcome back in Scoil Shéamuis Naofa in the future. 

As usual we has some great fun and activities leading up to the summer holidays. We had our Active Week where we got as much activity into our timetables as possible with Wake up, Shake Up and Drop Everything and Move. We held our sports days during this week and also went on our annual Sponsored School Walk. 

Our outgoing 6th class organised a Teddy Bear Picnic for the Junior classes and a Mini World Cup soccer tournament for the senior classes. Everyone made a small contribution towards the LauraLynn foundation. A nice touch by everyone. 

See below for a selection of pictures.

The Junior School Tour took place on June 12th.  Junior infants to 2nd class went to Kia Ora Mini Farm in Gorey Co. Wexford. The weather was pleasant but windy. Everyone had an excellent time. There was a lovely playground for all to enjoy and a nice football pitch for a mini game. There were go karts and a super maze to get lost in! All the students got to pet some rabbits and see other animals on  display. A lovely day out all round. Thanks to Séamus our regular bus driver for getting us there and back efficiently as usual.

Over the past two months 42 pupils from 2nd to 6th classes have been taking part in the Mini Hurling League. 

This year there were 33 great games, great scores and great excitement as always. On our finals day Ruairí’s team defeated Brody’s team in the Plate Final. CJ’s team beat Emma Jane’s Team in the Shield Final and in the Cup Final Michael’s Team beat Stephen’s team. Well done to all the players involved and thanks to Mr. Murphy and Mr. Grant for refereeing the games. Looking forward to next year already. 

Thanks to Mr. Murphy and his team of budding artists as they completed an outdoor mural this week. The mural is part of our Bí Cineálta initiative, promoting kindness and well being within the school. All would agree a very fine job was done by all involved  – maith sibh go léir!
