Introducing our new school GAA jerseys.

We are delighted to receive a new set of school jerseys for the school.
We would like to say a massive thank you to Ardee Credit Union for sponsoring this set of jerseys for our school.

We cannot thank you enough. The kids are really excited to getting back to school and wearing them in their school league and hopefully some competitions this year.

Thank you to our Student Council for representing the pupil's voice in the school in which they voted on their favourite design for the jersey.
We all agree they chose well.

Thank you Ardee Credit Union for your support and making this happen.

Newtown N.s. Christmas Jumper Day

Congratulations to 5th and 6th on their very successful charity fundraiser this year. The children ran a "Christmas Jumper Day" in aid of Crumlin hospital, a very worthy cause. All classes wore their Christmas jumpers and jingly Christmas outfits to school and donated to Crumlin hospital. The children had lots of fun throughout the day with activities organised by the Parent's Council and teachers. (Thank you)

The above picture is of our 5th & 6th Class wearing their jumpers and standing infront of our beautiful outdoor Christmas tree kindly donated to the school by Durnin Fruit and Veg. 
A massive thank you to Durnins for supporting the school, the children really loved making decorations for the tree as our usual Christmas events couldn't take place due to Covid restrictions.
We still made the most of our time together at school.

Thanks to all the parents and families who supported our wonderful fundraiser, we are truly grateful and cannot thank you enough for your kindness and I know all at Crumlin hospital feel the same.

From 5th and 6th Class.

christmas carol service 2018

We held our Christmas Carol Service in the Church of the Holy Cross, Lobinstown on Saturday 15th December.  The Carol Service was the culmination of many weeks of practicing and preparing by the whole school.  We are especially grateful to the fantastic talent and help of Sinéad McNally, who has been teaching in our school this term.  She is a talented musician and put together the music for us. We even performed a song which she wrote herself, titled 'Nearly Christmas', which has now become the most favourite song in our school!   She also worked with our own talented school musicians, with students playing guitar, flute, saxophone and percussion instruments with great success! We also have many talented singers and brave soloists among our pupils!  Everyone took part brilliantly and we are so proud of you all!  Thank you to Fr. Gerry and Fr. Timothy and to our parish community for the use of the church.

A huge well done to our Girls Football Team who progressed to the Final of their Cumann na mBunscol league which was held on Saturday, 29th November in Páirc Tailteann, Navan.  This was our second year in a row to make it to the final!  The girls played some very exciting matches to get to the final, which included wins over Carrickleck, Nobber, Moynalvey and Ballinacree.  We played Rathmore N.S. in the final and unfortunately it was not our day, but we congratulate Rathmore on a fair and well-played win.  Our team displayed outstanding teamwork, persistance, courage and pride in their jersey and they are a credit to the school.  A massive thank you to Vincent Malone for all his help and for being a fantastic coach, and to the parents who accompanied us to matches and supported us on the sidelines!  Thanks also to the Board of Management for supplying pizza and treats for us!  A pizza party was held in the school on Monday to reward their hard work!  Maith Sibh, a Cailíní! :)
