Suir Art Project
We have been lucky to have been part of the artist in residence scheme. A very big thank you to Magueritte Kent who has been fantastic and spent many long hours sharing her skills and techniques with the children. The past few months there has been trojan work in every room to produce a tapestry and posters which will be displayed in the County Museum in Clonmel.
Go check it out!!!
The children’s work has been themed on the wildlife and seasons on the River Suir.
ShoeBox Appeal 2016
Once again, the national drive for Christmas Shoe Box Appeal is in full flow. Here in the school we have been collecting Shoe boxes from all the generous donors. We reached a total of 68 boxes.
A big thank you to all those who donated all those boxes of pure joy for someone this Christmas. Also thanks very much to Phelans Shoes who very generously supplied the shoeboxes.
In the pictures below, we have the children helping Gerry Dargan try to fit all those boxes in his car.
The Beat Breakfast
Some of our pupils were very lucky to be escorted to school by the Beat Fleet last Monday morning. We were delighted to be entertained by the crew and the children got lovely gifts also.. Thanks so much to Michaela for entering the Cool to School competition, it was a lovely treat for everyone returning after the midterm. #beatbreakfast #cool2school

Cake Sale
We had a very busy day here in Ballyneale NS with our Cake Sale, which once again has proved to be a wonderful success.
Moneys raised this year is for Neuroblastoma Research and will greatly help their cause. We were delighted to have Annette, Kate and Anna Comerford here today, who are advocates for the said charity. Annette is taking part in the Marathon in Dublin this Monday fundraising for Neuroblastoma Research under the slogan “Running for a Cure”. Fair play and we wish her well!
We were delighted to help out in any way we can. A special word of thanks must go to Megan O’Meara who put the idea of Neuroblastoma Research forward as the charity of choice for our annual Cake Sale.
Have a look at the eventful day we had…
Finally, The winners of “Guess the weight of the Pumpkin”.
