A huge “Thank You” to our Parents’ Council for all the effort they have put into fundraising this year, and to you- the students, parents and staff, who so generously supported these fundraising events – both the Table Quiz and the recent Fun Run.
As you can see, it has enabled us to give the old dark corridors of our school a fresh new look over the Easter – We think you will all agree it has brightened the place up!
A special thanks to Kamil Czubiak of KC Property Maintenance who worked long hours over the Easter to get the work completed when the school was closed.

The Art Teachers Association of Ireland have arranged space in The Gallery of The Creative Centre for Art and Media in Galway, in order for our junior cycle students in the west of Ireland to experience and exhibit their creative work in a real art gallery environment. I got my 1st year Visual Art Students to respond to a brief through research & investigation and create an A5 postcard with the theme – Seachange. The opening of the exhibition is on Tuesday 17th April at 6:30 and is open to the public until Sunday 22nd April. I will be taking the 1st year art class on Wednesday 18th to the exhibition to view their work and the work from other schools in the area. The students will also get a tour of the art college on the day by the head of the art faculty. Ms. Scott.

Connacht Juvenile Football Semi – Final

Sports News, Student News

Dunmore narrowly missed out on a place in this years Connacht final, losing out to Garbally college 2-10 to 5-12. In what was a fantastic game, Dunmore showed great fight and were unlucky not to be ahead at the break, trailing 0-6 to 1-6. Goals win games, and three goals in the final minutes proved too much for Dunmore. This team had some fantastic displays over the course of the year and we are all looking forward to next year. Well done lads!
