School Graduation 2025
On Thursday 19th June 2025 we said goodbye to our sixth class of 2025, in great style. The whole day was a happy celebration of their eight years at Glenmore N.S. The day began with a school mass in Glenmore church with some of the class reading the prayers of the faithful. After lunch we had our school assembly, attended by the families of the sixth class pupils. The fifth and sixth class sang Viva la Vida, accompanied by guitar. Then introduced by Ms. Kelly, the sixth class treated us to their memories of Glenmore N.S. and hopes for the future. Each and every one of them did a fantastic job. After the presentation of year books and goodies by Ms. Kelly, next it was time for a well earned Mister Softee ice-cream in the sun!
We wish Katie, Amy, Freya, Annaleigh, Amelia, Amy, Aoibheann, Eimear, Jack, Richie, Diarmuid, Marcus and Casey all the very best in your new schools and have a wonderful Summer. You have been fantastic always!
School Mini League 2025
Over the past 5 weeks, 30 of our pupils from Glenmore N.S. took part in Mr. Grant’s mini league at break time. The teams were captained by Eimear, Annaleigh, Amelia, Jack and Richie. It created great excitement and fantastic displays of hurling in every match. On Thursday 19th June, the whole school came out to support Amelia and Richie’s team in the final. Both teams looked the part wearing the Glenmore and Kilkenny colours. Each player gave it their all, in a very sporting match, with Richie’s team coming out on top in the end. Both teams were presented with their medals by Mr. Grant during our school graduation in the afternoon. Well done to all our participants and to Mr. Grant for making it a very enjoyable and successful league!
School Walk 2025
On Wednesday 18th June, we had a fantastic sunny day for our school walk around Glenmore. On our walk up to the cross and back, the juniors and senior infants stopped to pick wild strawberries and ate them too! We checked if we liked butter, with the buttercup test. We brought some dock leaves with us too, just in case of a nettle sting! We saw beautiful white butterflies also. We waved at any of the mams, dads and neighbours who passed us along the route!
Well done to all the other classes who took the 5km route around Mullinahone lane!
Junior School Tour 2025
On Friday 13th June 2025, unlucky for some, but lucky for us! We had a lovely sunny day and we had a great day out on our junior school tour. The boys and girls from junior infants to second class went to Kilkenny Castle Park playground and then to the National Reptile Zoo. We had lots of fun in the playground and learned all about the turtles, frogs, crocs and snakes in the reptile zoo. We all made our way home tired, but very happy. Here are a few photos from the day.
