Fuaireamar cuairt timpeall an campas agus ghlacamar pháirt i gceardalann éagsula bunaithe ar an timpeallacht. Bhí lá iontach againn!

Four students from the School were invited to UCC last Wednesday to celebrate the 10th anniversary of being awarded their Green Flag.

Christmas Market 

A wonderful day was had on Sunday at the school Christmas Market. Around €13,500 was collected and a more accurate figure less expenses will be announced soon.

A huge amount of effort went into organising the event and could not have been achieved without the phenomenal work of Cairde na Scoile. Our thanks to everyone who supported the event in any way.

To take part in the scheme, schools must obtain sponsorship from a company. John Paul Construction, Little Island have kindly agreed to sponsor Gaelscoil Uí Drisceoil. For the next ten weeks two engineers from John Paul Construction will endeavour to give pupils of both fourth classes an introduction to the skills of engineering.
