Alas in Blunderland June 2026.
Mrs O’ Regan and Ms Kiely’s classes staged ‘ Alas in Blunderland’ on our school stage last Friday. The girls took part in every part of the production from painting the pros and scenery to learning all about stagecraft and scene changes. They learned their lines to perfection. We tried to be as sustainable as possible by making our own props and recycling and repurposing costumes. They were fantastic and we are very proud of them. Stars every one.

Last Thursday June 18th, the 6th Class girls of St Mary’s Primary school had their Graduation service. It was a wonderful occasion where the girls were joined by their families and some of the teachers of St Mary’s

For the next month, the children and staff of St Mary’s Primary School will be taking part in a variety of activities to promote Wellbeing. Our Student Council along with the help of the classes, have come up with some wonderful ideas. There will be many fun days ahead over the next couple of weeks.
The first activity was Fluffy Friday. The children came to school dressed in fluffy socks and fluffy jumpers. All of the children felt cosy and warm all day.
An air of contentment and fun filed the school. Well Done to the Student Council and Mrs Barry.
The excitement for Christmas has almost reached fever pitch in St Mary’s Primary School. The boys and girls have been busy this week; practising for our Carol Service, playing volleyball, going to the cinema aswell as engaging in arts and crafts activities. The children and staff of St Marys participated in Wear Red to work day in aid of the Lions Club. It is a worthy fundraiser and the staff generously contributed to the charity.
Mrs Barry’s 1st Class had a lovely surprise Snowman Pancake Breakfast. The boys and girls enjoyed creating and most importantly eating their snowmen. They also made sure our principal Ms Veale, Teresa Daly and Chris Mulcahy got to sample the goods.! A fun start to December .
The Junior Infant Classes put on an amazing performance of Ralph the Reindeer for their parents. The children performed a dress rehearsal for the other classes and staff and they were amazing.

Well Done boys and girls, you kicked of Christmas in the most amazing way.
