A great morning learning all about fire safety. Thank you to local firemen Anthony and Ronan.
A great day at Fintra. Blitz organised by TY students in St. Catherine’s. Well done everyone!
We went for a lovely Spring Walk and we saw baby lambs. We even had a surprise visit to Eugene’s house. He told us all about the Giant’s chair, showed us his work shop and how a fire extinguisher works!
We had a visit from An Garda Síochána! They showed us a presentation all about their work. We got to try on their uniform and even got a sneak peek inside the Garda Car!

In an effort to reduce the amount of single-use plastic in the school (and the environment) the pupils of The Commons N.S. in Killybegs decided to take affirmative action. Led by the school’s “Green Team” they conducted a survey over a number of weeks and concluded that a definite action plan was needed. They sought sponsorship for “reusable” bottles and were delighted when the Atlantic Dawn Group responded and willingly agreed to sponsor their ambitious project. After much research a suitable product and supplier was sourced and the project concluded with each pupil receiving the “branded bottle”. Acknowledging that this is only a “small step” in world terms, they believe every little bit counts and we all need to “do our little bit” going forward. So remember the motto “Think Globally, act locally.”
