The boys and girls from Junior Infants to Second Class had a fantastic school trip to Long Strand. They enjoyed orienteering activities led by Nora and Steve Perkins, followed by archery, team-building games, and a beach scavenger hunt with Mr. Cronin. To top it all off, we savoured pizza on the sand dunes and finished the day with well deserved icecream. It was truly a memorable day!

Congratulations to the boys and girls from 4th, 5th, and 6th classes who competed in Sciath na Scoil, narrowly missing out on a place in the finals. A big thanks to Mr. Shanahan and Mr. Cronin for their commitment and dedication in leading the Friday morning training sessions, which really contributed to the team's success.  Junior and Senior Infants are making the most of the sunny weather, planting as much as they can in our brand new garden beds and geodome! Mrs. O’Mahony has been busy sharing her top gardening tips and tricks, helping our young gardeners get started. We can’t wait to watch everything grow!
The boys and girls soaked up the sunshine at our annual Drinagh NS Sports Day! The students took part in a mix of new races and our much-loved traditional ones.
We were thrilled to see such great energy, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the day. A huge thank you goes to Mrs. O'Mahony and Mr. Cronin for their fantastic effort in organising and setting up the races — it truly made the day one to remember! Our 5th and 6th class students rolled up their sleeves and got to grips with shovels and gardening tools as they prepared the new vegetable beds for planting. What better way to spend these sunny days than learning valuable gardening and life skills—while having fun with friends in the fresh air!
The girls in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th class had a fun-filled day of soccer at the FAI Blitz in Clonakilty! A big thank you to the FAI coaches for organising such an exciting day. The boys were great supporters too, cheering from the sidelines and sharing their top tips!
Well done to the girls in 4th, 5th, and 6th class who made it through to the next stage of the FAI Primary School 5s in Musgrave Park. We’re so proud of how they represented Drinagh NS, giving it their all out on the pitch. A mention too for their loyal supporters who cheered them on every step of the way!
A big thank you to the wonderful Rapid Response volunteers who visited us at Drinagh NS today. They were so kind and answered all our questions. We learned so much about how they help people in emergencies in our community.
We had a fantastic fortnight leading up to St. Patrick's Day, celebrating all things Irish for Seachtain na Gaeilge. Students from 1st to 6th class took part in a tráth na gceist, while 2nd, 3rd, and 4th class showcased their finest outfits in a seó faisin. Mrs. French also taught céilí dancing, adding to the festive spirit.
We wrapped up the celebrations with Lá Glas, where the children enjoyed dancing, took part in a treasure hunt as Gaeilge and held a special Gaeilgóir na Seachtaine presentation. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our language and culture. A big go raibh míle maith agat to Mr. Collins for his fantastic brush dancing demonstration and for teaching us all some great skills. |
