Handwriting
Penmanship is a great skill skill. Each year the INTO (Irish National Teachers Organisation) and the EBS (Educational Building Society) promote handwriting. Here we have our winner Joanna pictured from left with Mr. Seamus Long (INTO) and Mr. Thomas Stuart (EBS). A very pleasant function was held in The Meadowlands Hotel in Tralee, Co. Kerry where all prize winners were feted.
Handwriting Example Joanna started school in September 2007.

Health Promotion School
On Thursday 6th March 2008 we,along with 17 other schools were awarded our Health Promotion School status. This initiative is promoted by the Health Services Executive-South.(HSE-South),south because we live in the South of The Republic of Ireland.
The award celebrates good health policies in our teaching and learning environment.This includes action policies, healthy lunches, exercises, recycling, composting,waste management,growing seeds,flowers and plants, health food events like juicing days for the whole school community,exhibitions,artwork, poetry, song and report writing .
All our activities are aligned to our national curriculm through our central module Social, Personal and Health Education(SPHE) and these instructional activities and events link and integrate into the other national curricular areas.
For the past two years we have been working with Mrs. Ber Browne of the HSE in initiating, developing,producing and implementing our plan. It resulted in a major day of celebration at the GAA Sports Complex in Mallow, Co. Cork. Here we also got the opportunity to exchange health promotion ideas with the other schools that attended.
Co-Ordinator for this project is Mrs. Ann Nash.
