Green Schools 2026/27

Posted on by GlenmoreNS
Our Green Schools Committee are working hard on applying for the Green flag in the litter and waste theme. The deadline for submission is December 2nd 2026.
 
Our Green-Schools committee launched the year with a presentation on recycling during September’s assembly. They reminding students and staff how to sort paper, card, and plastics properly. To gather student and staff feedback, we designed and distributed a litter and waste questionnaire across Glenmore NS.
 
The committee also completed September’s school waste audit to track our overall rubbish output and pinpoint where improvements are needed. We found that food waste accounted for 36% of the schools waste and aimed to raise awarness around the area. As part of our outdoor checks, students walked the grounds after breaks to identify school litter black spots and plan clean ups.
 
Thank you to all pupils, staff and parents for your ongoing support in keeping Glenmore NS clean and green. Every small change makes a big difference to our environment.

Unfortunately the end of summer term also brings the end of primary school for our 6th class. Our fantastic 6th class said their goodbyes, all looking forward to what the future will bring. We had our graduation mass with Fr. Taylor and then our final assembly/graduation ceremony in the Parish Hall. The graduating class all spoke individually about their experiences and memories in Glenmore N.S. Mr. Walsh spoke about each student and their qualities and personalities! The class rounded off with their version of the Cranberries song ‘Dreams’ to bring to an end a very happy and emotional day. Best wishes to  Stephen, Ruairí, CJ, Brody, Noah, Danny, Nora, Emma Jane, Kate and Rachel in their future endeavors and they will always be welcome back in Scoil Shéamuis Naofa in the future. 

Summer Fun

As usual we has some great fun and activities leading up to the summer holidays. We had our Active Week where we got as much activity into our timetables as possible with Wake up, Shake Up and Drop Everything and Move. We held our sports days during this week and also went on our annual Sponsored School Walk. 

Our outgoing 6th class organised a Teddy Bear Picnic for the Junior classes and a Mini World Cup soccer tournament for the senior classes. Everyone made a small contribution towards the LauraLynn foundation. A nice touch by everyone.

Junior School Tour 2026

Posted on by GlenmoreNS

The Junior School Tour took place on June 12th.  Junior infants to 2nd class went to Kia Ora Mini Farm in Gorey Co. Wexford. The weather was pleasant but windy. Everyone had an excellent time. There was a lovely playground for all to enjoy and a nice football pitch for a mini game. There were go karts and a super maze to get lost in! All the students got to pet some rabbits and see other animals on  display. A lovely day out all round. Thanks to Séamus our regular bus driver for getting us there and back efficiently as usual.
