Earlier this year we visited Ballyhaunis Community School to meet and chat with pupils from other countries. We learned a lot about the similarities and differences between Ireland, Syria, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Mauritius and Malaysia.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish Alex, Jessica, Josh and Michael every success in secondary school. They were a pleasure to teach and will be missed by all in Gortskehy next September. Go n-éirí an t-ádh libh!

Last Thursday the 13^th of June we celebrated our end of year mass here in Gortskehy. Following the mass we took a trip down memory lane with 6^th class and recalled the many happy memories from their time here at Gortskehy. We would like to say a big congratulations and well done to our 6^th class, and wish them well on their next venture in secondary school. We have attached the PhotoStory if you’d like to have a look.

Wishing everyone a very happy and safe summer break!

Our senior room had a super day at Bay Sports Athlone today. It was a fun filled day from start to finish. The children took part in a range of activities including  bushcraft skills, pedal boating,pedal carting and fun on the inflatable water park. I think you can tell from the smiles the class thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Yesterday evening was very exciting for us  with our girls and boys teams winning the Heaney Shield and McCartan Cup titles in Hollymount. The mixed teams consisted of pupils from Gortskehy NS, Robeen NS, Lehinch NS & Cloghans Hill NS. We had two very energetic games and would like to say a very well done to Roundfort NS also. A special thanks to our trainers Brendan Murphy and Pat Hession and to all that came out to cheer us on yesterday. Well done everyone!

Congratulations to the children from 5th and 6th class who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Friday the 15^th of March  2019. The mass was celebrated by Archbishop Michael Neary. A huge thank you to Fr Murphy and all involved for making it such an enjoyable day.
