We travelled to the Arts Centre in Roscommon and spent a lovely afternoon in the company of Beauty and the Beast and an array of exciting characters. This musical was performed by the pupils of Roscommon Community College and it was extra exciting for us to see so many past pupils on the stage. It was a wonderful afternoons entertainment and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Due to uncooperative weather, our sports day took place over two days but we didn’t hear any complaints from our competitors. On Friday, we took part in many fun indoor activities with a quick run outdoors to collect our cone from Nick the Icecream Man. On Tuesday, our outdoor activities were embraced with vigour and enthusiasm. We hope you enjoy our gallery of pictures.
As always, our school tour was a great success and a wonderful day was had by all. We travelled to AIT International Arena in Athlone and enjoyed a day of fun filled activities which was made all the better by blue skies and sunshine. As you can see from the pictures below, there was something to suit everyone.
We were delighted to hear recently that we were awarded our 9th Green Flag. Congratulations to Mrs Owens our Green Schools’ Coordinator, the Green Schools’ Committee and all the Staff who were hightly commended for all the hard work invested into obtaining this flag which is based on the theme “Global Citizenship – Litter and Waste”.
As our school year draws to a close, we prepare to say goodbye to our 10 students in 6th class and we wish them all the very best in their new schools. Sixth class and all the school staff are very appreciative of the hard work that the Parents Association have done for them throughout their time in Ballagh NS and also for all the resources they provided over their time in the school. We share this group photo of them proudly wearing their new school hoodies which was organised by the Parents Association.
We had a lot of success in recent Commuity Games Art and and Handwriting events at a local level and qualifications for the County Finals also.
