We are delighted to receive a SFI Gold Curious minds award for our engagement with Science and STEM for this school year. We are the only school in Cavan to have received the Gold Award. Here is the message we received from the curious minds team;
Congratulations to everyone at Scoil Bhríde on your award! Your submission clearly shows that there was a huge amount of STEM work done in the school this year. It was brilliant to see the whole school getting involved. There was a wide range of really interesting investigations carried out, like circuit building, coding, a visit to the bee barn and an investigation into forces using raisins and fizzy water! Your engineering activities were particularly strong. It looks like the STEM Show and Tell was a great success, with very interesting presentations too! Keep up the fantastic work and well done on your award – it’s a real credit to the learners, teachers, and entire school community!
Well done to all the teachers and the children for engaging so well with all the activities. Congratulations!
Well done to both our girls’ and boys’ football teams who competed in the Cumann na mBunscoil competitions on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th May.

Thank you to Ms McDermott and Ms Rahill for coaching and looking after both teams this year.
