Winner of Tidy Towns Award
We did a project documenting the very successful "Make Our School Proud Programme 2007". We did lots of work at our school to make it look better both indoors and outdoors. The work included -powerhosing the roof and painting it, painting the outside of the school, upgrading the toilets and surrounding areas, a big spring clean outside the school and replacing doors and windows. When the work was done, we had a special outdoor mass in the school yard. We invited our parents, grandparents, neighbours and friends to celebrate with us. It was a lovely sunny day. We had an open air disco and a party too. We had a great day. We were awarded the top prize in the Western Region Tidy Towns Primary Schools Competition. We received a cheque for €750 and a certificate. We were very proud of our success.


Miss Murphy and some of the sixth class pupils were invited to Turlough House, Castlebar to a prize giving ceremony.
