From Wednesday 16th to Thursday 17th December, the children of Scoil Bhríde put on a ‘Christmas Sing-along’. All the students and teachers put in a lot of work to entertain their parents and family members. A great week was had by all. We would like to thank everyone who came along to support the children.
Ms Cullinan’s and Mr Winters’ classes visited Ofalia House and provided a carol service for the elderly on Monday December 14th. This annual visit is always an enjoyable experience for all involved.
All the boys and girls in Scoil Bhríde have been working very hard to display their various art displays and projects. Well done to everyone for all your hard work! Click below to view our art displays.

Scoil Bhríde’s recent fancy dress raised €325 in aid of the LauraLynn Children’s Hospice. Majella O’Connor accepted the cheque from Mr. Duffy on behalf of the LauraLynn Foundation. Thanks to all those involved for helping raise the money.
On Monday 9th November, Scoil Bhríde took part in the annual Christmas Shoebox Appeal with Team-Hope. A total of 278 boxes were collected. We would like to give a very special thank you to the parents and children who sent in boxes for this special cause.
On Monday 9th November we welcomed members from the Army in Athlone who presented us with the Irish Flag and the 1916 Proclamation. This was to commemorate the 1916 Rising. We were extremely lucky to have two members of Air Corps join us also who are parents of children in the school. These were Flight Sgt. John O’Brien and Sgt. Val Murray. The Proclamation was read out by Flight Sgt. John O’Brien and Jake from 5th class. Eoghan, a pupil from the Junior end of Scoil Bhríde, accepted the Irish Flag and Aoife, a pupil in the Senior end of the school, accepted the Proclamation on behalf of our school community
On Friday 6th November, children braved the cold weather to help plant daffodil bulbs in the school yard. Daffodils bring a nice burst of colour to our school environment and we are looking forward to watching them bloom in Spring.
