A huge well done to the Fantastic Class of 2026 in Sundays Well Montessori and their wonderful teachers, Niamh and Laura!! We are so excited to welcome some of you to Junior Infants in September. As we prepare to send off our own Class of 2026 next week, aren’t we lucky to have such brilliant kids getting ready to start big school with us! Where does the time go?? ❤️

As part of the Professor Fluffy Programme, our 5th Class pupils enjoyed a memorable visit to the University College Cork campus a few weeks back. ❤️

The day included a special graduation ceremony celebrating their participation in the programme, as well as a guided tour of the university grounds and facilities. The visit gave pupils the opportunity to experience life on a university campus, learn about student life, and explore the many opportunities that higher education can offer. It was an inspiring and enjoyable day that encouraged curiosity, confidence, and ambition for the future. 🎓🎓

The 5th Class pupils enjoyed an exciting and action-packed school tour to West Cork Secret, where they took part in a variety of outdoor challenges, team-building activities and an opportunity to brave the famous water slide. The tour provided a wonderful opportunity for pupils to build friendships, develop confidence, and enjoy a day outside the classroom. It was a memorable day filled with laughter, adventure, and lasting memories for everyone (but not so much for wheover had to wash the lads gear after)!! 🙈🙈

We are so happy our neighbours got to see this this morning, as did our Juniors, Seniors, First and Sixth Class. Our staff also got to experience a Sound Bath and everyone really enjoyed and felt the benefits at this crazy time of the year. Another example of just how lucky we are to have a staff full of wonderful talents. Thank you Ms. O’Riordan, we are so lucky to have you 🪘🎼☺️

You hardly thought we were going to leave last week pass without acknowledging it 😉

Last Wednesday, May 27th, our incredible Sciath na Scol squad had a very hard fought victory over local rivals, Scoil Iosagain. The training these children are doing at school and club level was evident as there was so little to separate the sides, with players going up against club teammates in their school colours. From the very moment the lads left the school, they were simply phenomenal!!

Our boys hassled, harried and worked their socks off in tough conditions and were a credit to our school. The final whistle didn’t just show the emotion on the pitch, but the coaches on the sideline, the parents in the stand and the students and teachers that were also bursting with pride in the stands. It was such a special moment when Aaron and Jake collected the cup.

The boys came back to the school, sang, danced, got plenty of Hi5s and were the celebrities for the few days; as they should have been. A cake last week and a fantastic celebration today with special guest Hugh O Connor organised by our incredible parents for which we are so lucky to have. We hope the boys know how special an achievement this was and feel they have been celebrated accordingly. We won’t forget it any time soon!!

💛💙 So just incase you need any reminding; Blarney Street are Sciath na Scol Champions 2026 💙💛

The talented 5th class pupils have just completed CLOuD (Climate, Literacy, Outreach, Inclusion, and Diversity)—a project by Education for Sustainability, funded by Research Ireland under the Discover Programme. CLOuD’s aim is to deliver climate literacy and STEM engagement to marginalised communities across Ireland.

You can see some of their climate actions expressed through a vibrant and educational art display in Hollyhill Library, the children's section from the 28th of May until the end of June.

Ms. McCarthy’s 6th class had an “anything but a bag” day today, with the boys showing great creativity with what they could bring instead of their usual school bag! One of many of the fun activities the lads will get up to in their last month of school. Well done lads! 👏🏼👏🏼

A huge thank you to the CorkCity Hospitals Children's Club for their very generous donation of books to our school.

We are delighted to receive this wonderful gift, which will help to spread the joy of reading among our pupils. Every new book opens the door to imagination, adventure and discovery, and we know these books will be enjoyed by many children for years to come.

The Hospital Children's Club is a truly worthwhile charity that works tirelessly to support children and young people going through some challenging times. Our school is proud to support their efforts and deeply appreciates their kindness and generosity.

Thank you once again for helping us nurture a love of reading in our school community. 📖❤️

On Monday, June 1st, CorkCity Hospital Children's Club are running "Lap the Lough" again. They will attempt to surround Cork City’s favourite walkway with as many €1 and €2 coins as possible, in a bid to raise more money. It would be a lovely occasion to be part of if anyone is looking for something to do on the bank holiday Monday.
