Courtesy champs.

Well done to Liam and Darragh who were awarded their courtesy certificate on Friday. They constantly display fantastic manners, are polite and kind to all those around them. 
Well done to all 6th class who display good manners throughout the school and are setting great examples to all. 
Keep it up and remember, it costs nothing to be nice!! 😊


Reading buddies.

6th class setting a fantastic example to children from junior infants. Showing great compassion they read, questioned, chatted and got to know a little bit about each other. It was so lovely. Looking forward to next week already.

Reaping the rewards (JEP)


As a result of our very successful JEP project ' A Ballinora Greeting' the students got the opportunity to spend some of their profits. 
We headed to Leisureplex for bowling and Quazar. This was immense fun. That left us all quite hungry so off we set to feast on a delicious lunch at Milanos. What a lovely day for the students and a very positive programme to undertake.









Retreat. Scala retreat centre, Blackrock.

Our recent retreat to Scala, a lovely day of reflection, games and singing.

Cork in 1916

Thanks to Daniel Breen for coming to talk to the classes about the events before, during and after the rising from a Cork perspective.
An informative and interesting presentation. 







Proclamation Day

A very special day to commemorate the events of 1916, the raising of the tricolour and to celebrate all the fantastic things that our country has to offer, Irish dancing, our flag, our language and our national anthem. 
Well done to the pupils who reimagined a vision for 2016 and who wrote a wonderful proclamation. 
The pupils then danced the afternoon away for the ceilí.
A very special day in Scoil Bhailenóra.




















Showcase Day (JEP)

Thanks to everyone who attended our showcase day. The pupils put in a huge effort in setting up 'A Ballinora Greeting' and it was wonderful that they got the opportunity to showcase their efforts. 
Our cards are still available from the school so if you didn't get a chance to purchase any don't hesitate to pop in to see us.
