Congratulations to our 6th Class pupils who made their Confirmation on Monday 3rd March. Thank you to Ms Rahill for all her work and guidance in preparing them for the sacrament. We pray that the Holy Spirit will guide and direct them in the years ahead.

On Sunday 2nd February our 5th and 6th Class travelled to the RDS in Dublin to take part in the Peace Proms.
The children performed with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland and a host of top soloists in a concert on the day. The children sang with a choir of up to 3,000 children and worked with one of the UK’s leading professional conductors – Greg Beardsell. It was noisy but brilliant! Well done to the children on all their hard work learning all the songs and actions. 
Thank you to our Board of Management and Parents Association for subsidising the cost of the bus and thank you to our parents that travelled to see us, we hope you all enjoyed the show!
It has been a busy few weeks for pupils in Scoil Bhríde in the lead up to Christmas. It began with Junior and Senior Infants performing The Nativity, followed by 1st to 6th Class performing in our Christmas Carol service. The pupils were brilliant and displayed a wide range of talents which brought great joy to all in attendance. Classes took a stroll down to the Village to have a closer look at all the wonderful Christmas decorations and displays. Fifth and Sixth Class wrote Christmas cards for residents of the local nursing home. Finally, we were treated to a visit by Mr and Mrs Santa Claus.
Fifth and Sixth class pupils enjoyed Science Week 2024. In class, pupils completed some STEM challenges and for homework they completed science projects and carried out experiments which they presented to the class on Thursday. We had a tornado in a bottle, made oobleck, lava lamps, created a cloud in a bottle, investigated the density of various liquids, demonstrated air pressure and surface tension, researched some famous scientists and even made a motorised engine!!
During the first term pupils in Scoil Bhríde learned all about their local area. Pupils researched and completed projects on Lough Sheelin, Ross Castle, Schools through the Ages, The Dungimmon Stone, Crover House, Church Island, The Legend of Orwin and Sebana and Mountnugent Village.
We also had the pleasure of having local historian Joe Moynagh visit our school to share his amazing knowledge and stories about Mountnugent with classes. Finally, just before Midterm, 5th and 6th class pupils enjoyed a wonderful day out with Joe, Ms Browne and Ms Rahill visiting some of the local historical sites. It was clear to see that pupils really enjoyed learning all about their local area and gained lots of knowledge too.
On Friday 25th October we had our annual Halloween dress up day. The teachers were blown away by the effort that went into the costumes which left them with the hard job of picking our costume winners for 2024. Congratulations to all the children and well done to everyone for taking part. We finished our day with a Movie Day organised by our student council.
