Well done to the boys and girls who represented St. Mary’s N.S in the annual Cavan Primary Schools Athletics across Country Championships.

All the boys and girls had trained hard for the event. A big well done to all the boys and girls for their great effort.

A great day for St. Mary’s N.S. with the Junior Boys, Intermediate Boys and Senior Boys teams coming home with 2nd place medals.

Amazing individual performances from Tadgh Finn (Junior Boys/600m) in 12th place, Oisín Mc Manus (Intermediate Boys/800m) in 6th place, and Dylan O’Reilly (Senior Boys/1000m) in 1st place.

It was a fantastic day out for all, with everyone trying their best having fun and making memories. Well done everyone!

Archery in Room 10
Archery in Room 10

During our second week back at school, Mr. McCabe’s 2nd Class in Room 10 enjoyed a PE lesson with a difference – Archery! 

We used indoor Archery Sets and took turns aiming for the Bullseye – which is the centre of the target!  If we were happy with our shot, we took a step back to make it harder.

It was a great fun start to the new school year!

6th Class Graduation 2023
6th Class Graduation 2023

On Wednesday 21st June, it was time for our 6th Class of 2023 to say goodbye to St. Mary’s as they graduated from 6th Class and primary school. The DEN, 4th and 5th classes gathered in the hall to mark the occasion. Ms Jordan reminisced about events throughout this groups’ years in St. Mary’s from near escapes in Junior Infants to our 6th Class school tour only a week before. She echoed how everyone in St. Mary’s is proud of their achievements and progress during their time here.

The Class of 2023 were then called out individually and presented with certificates and framed graduation mementos. Afterwards, they sang their graduation songs of ‘Believer’ and ‘Whatever it Takes’, before throwing their mortar hats to the ceilings in celebration.

They gathered their belongings and made their way through a whole school guard of honour, exiting the gates as St. Mary’s pupils for the last time.

We wish every single member of the 6th Class of 2023 the very best in their futures and invite them back at any time to let us know how they are doing.

Well done to our 5 students who had a perfect attendance for the 2022/2023 school year. It’s a great achievement and these five students were awarded special certificates for their achievement.
Well done again and what great role models you are for all our students.
