                 The boys and girls in Senior Infants and 1st Class have been busy helping our new Junior Infants feel right at home! They have enjoyed playing together, exploring the classroom toys and making new friends.
We wish all our Junior Infants lots of happiness and fun as they begin their journey here at Drinagh NS!  A big congratulations to our wonderful Graduation Class of 2026! They did themselves, their families and our school incredibly proud with a beautiful graduation ceremony and a rousing rendition of Killeallagh.
It was a very special occasion as we looked back through a slideshow of their many happy memories in Drinagh NS and reflected on how much they have grown and developed into the fantastic young people they are today. We wish them every success and happiness as they begin their new journey in secondary school. We had a fantastic time at our Whole School Fun Day. There was plenty of fun, laughter and a healthy dose of competition throughout the day.
From bingo with Mrs O’Mahony to tug of war, the three-legged race and sack race with Mr. Cronin, there was something for everyone. The dodgeball was highly competitive, and of course, no Fun Day would be complete without the bouncy castle! A brilliant way to spend a sunny Wednesday and celebrate the final week of another wonderful school year. A Fantastic Day Out at West Cork Secret!
Drinagh NS enjoyed a fantastic whole-school tour to West Cork Secret! Our pupils got up close and personal with Mother Nature as they explored the woodlands and took part in exciting orienteering activities. The fun continued with Go-Karting, team-building games, a selection of assault courses and, of course, the famous West Cork Secret Waterslide! And what better way to finish off a brilliant day than with some delicious pizza. We were very thankful for a sunny Friday morning as we completed our whole-school walk, organised by Ms Swanton and the School Council. We were also grateful for the generous donations received in support of the event. The School Council has decided to use the funds raised to purchase new playground equipment for the school, while also making a donation to charity.
Take a little glimpse into life in the Junior Room, full of play, creativity, and teamwork! From building the tallest towers to taking part in trust-based orienteering. The girls in first class really enjoyed guiding their blindfolded partners around the school grounds, showing great communication and trust in each other.
Well done to all the students who took part in Cork City Sports. We were especially delighted to see our students, Croíadh Murphy, Mia Sweetnam, and Keelan Hegarty, cross the finish line in prize-winning positions. A fantastic achievement and a proud day for our school.
To finish off our swimming lessons at Dunmanway Swimming Pool, we decided to make the most of the beautiful weather and stop off at the playground for some fun in the sun. It was the perfect way to round off a fantastic few weeks of swimming, with plenty of smiles, laughter, and energy to spare!
 Well done to all the students who took part in the Sciath na Scol competition. Despite the rainy conditions, they showed great determination, gave it their all, and represented their school with pride.
