We are so lucky to be able to have support from Trinity College. Our 6th class have worked with them since 5th class .TAP partners with local schools to encourage students to think about college as an option from an early age. They run programs to build skills and confidence. Our past pupils have greatly benefited from these programs and so many are having very successful academic journeys.

Each year TAP awards 6 students from 6th the Primary Achievement Award.
Congratulations to Zainab, Conor,Gabija, Rocco, Talin and Andrew.

Our 3rd Class students had a wonderful time on their recent trip to Collins Barracks, part of the National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History.

The children explored a wide range of fascinating exhibits, learning about Ireland’s military and social history in an engaging and interactive way. One of the highlights of the day was getting to try on replica army uniforms, which gave the students a hands-on feel for life as a soldier in the past. There was plenty of excitement and laughter as they stepped into the shoes of history!

We’ve been soaking up the sunshine and making the most of these beautiful days! Inspired by the bright weather, we decided to bring some of that sunshine indoors by creating our very own Sunflower Door to brighten up the classroom!”

Fourth class visited Kilmainham Gaol last week . It was a very interesting tour and it was great for them to see such a historic local site . They had worked hard on history over year’s previous weeks and their guide was very impressed with their knowledge of Irish history.

As the sixth class Friendship Keepers will be leaving us  in June it was time to train in a new group from fourth class. A huge thank you to the children who took on the role and stuck at it until the end of sixth class. You have all been fantastic helping out in the junior yard with the younger children and did a super job training in our new group!
👏👏👏

On Wednesday the 9th of April, 5th class visited Trinity College for their TAP Mini Med Day. 

When we arrived at Trinity we were treated to a wonderful talk from Professor Luke O’Neill who spoke to us about Immunology and told the students loads of interesting facts about bacteria and viruses. 

After a quick break for lunch, 5th class had the opportunity to become doctors themselves which they really enjoyed. They learned about first aid, took their blood pressure and listened to their heartbeat, looked at X-rays, performed CPR, scrubbed in for surgery, and looked for their reflexes. It’s fair to say we have a few aspiring doctors and nurses among us now. 

After all the excitement we thought it was only right to chill out in the sun with some ice cream and talk about our highlights from the day ☀️

We’re wrapping up an amazing 6-week cycling programme with the brilliant Tomas and Ally — and what a ride it’s been! 🌟

A massive thank you to both of them for bringing such energy, encouragement, and fun to every session. The children have gained fantastic cycling skills, built confidence, and most importantly, had a brilliant time doing it! 💪🚲😄

From balance and control to road awareness and safety, the opportunities and experiences offered were second to none. It’s been a joy to watch the progress and smiles grow each week! 👏

Here’s to more pedals, progress, and positivity in the future! 🥳🚴‍♂️

We’re officially two weeks in and our students are absolutely smashing it in the Skipping Around Europe Challenge in the amazing weather! 🎉💪

From Dublin to Prague and Berlin to Budapest, our classes have been racking up their skips and making fantastic progress across the continent. 🗺️💥 It’s been incredible to see the energy, enthusiasm, and teamwork from all classes — skipping ropes flying, smiles beaming, and legs moving non-stop! 😄

A huge well done to all the students (and staff!) who’ve taken part so far — your effort and commitment are truly inspiring. Let’s keep up the great work and see just how far we can travel in the next few weeks! 🚀👟

Keep skipping, keep smiling, and keep moving!
