The Drinagh NS boys and girls soccer teams had two very enjoyable days taking part in the FAI Primary Schools 5s programme in Bantry. They showed great passion for soccer, brilliant skill and teamwork in their play. We look forward to supporting the boys at Turner's Cross in the next round of the competition. A special thanks to our two soccer coaches Eamonn Connolly and Ken Kingston for the weekly coaching sessions and for guiding and encouraging the teams from the sidelines.

May Brigid bless the house wherein you dwell
Bless every fireside every wall and door Bless every heart that beats beneath its roof Bless every hand that toils to bring it joy Bless every foot that walks its portals through May Brigid bless the house that shelters you. Ms Swanton and 4th class were delighted to attend the online Irish Showcase Event and were even more delighted when they were announced winners of their category in the iFlow "Manufacturing a Healthy Future" sustainability challenge. Thanks to their innovative designs and newly acquired 3D printing skills they have won €500 prizemoney for Stem related resources for Drinagh NS and a trip to Styker.
A special thank you to Ms Swanton for completing the 3D printing course which enables us to have a 3D printer in our school and Mr. Cronin for his help in putting together the video. Welcome back everyone, we all hope you had a great Christmas and New Year. The kids are all settled in and ready to learn. On Tuesday the school grounds were covered in snow. The junior room were out making snowmen and playing with snow. It was a fun day for all. We wish you all the best for 2024 and the school term ahead.
Written by Patrick Daly and Conor Collins It was a fun filled festive week of Christmas activities in Drinagh NS in the run up to the Christmas holidays. From Christmas baking to wreath making, Christmas games, Secret Santa and Christmas themed arts and crafts, we really got into the Christmas spirit.
Students and staff of Drinagh NS would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and best wishes for 2024. The boys and girls in the senior room had a busy final week of Christmas wreath making. We can't commend you enough for your enthusiasm, hard work and teamwork throughout the Junior Entrepreneur process. We would like to thank the parent body for supporting our project so generously which resulted in 122 wreaths being sold. A special thank you to Ms Swanton for designing and printing 3d stars with 4th class and the biggest thank you of all to the wonderfully talented and dedicated Mrs O' Mahony who oversaw the making of each and every one of the Christmas wreaths.
We hope the mums and dads enjoyed receiving their Christmas cards in the post. The junior and senior infants had great fun writing them, walking through the village to the post box and posting them.
Well done to the boys and girls for their part in telling the story of the Nativity. Everyone made a contribution and put in lots of effort and lots and lots of practice which made it a beautiful carol service.
The students and staff of Drinagh NS would like to thank local charity Tar Isteach for their donation. We really appreciate the kind donation they make every year.
