As the school year draws to a close, we gathered on Thursday to celebrate a wonderful milestone – the graduation of our 6th class students. This moment marks the end of their primary school journey, and what an incredible journey it has been! The Graduation ceremony wasn’t just about saying goodbye to primary school – it’s was about celebrating how far they have all come throughout their years in Greaghrahan NS. To Alex, Cian, Emma, Lucie, Skye and Sophie congratulations on a successful journey through primary school. We are so proud of everything you’ve achieved and the people you’ve become. All the staff and pupils wish each of you every success and happiness as you step confidently into this exciting new chapter. Your future is full of promise – go out and embrace it!

Junior Classes Enjoy Action-Packed Trip to GR8 in Monaghan!

Our students in Junior Infants to 2nd had an unforgettable day out this week as they visited GR8 Entertainment Centre in Monaghan. From the moment we arrived, the excitement was through the roof. The venue had something for everyone, and the children wasted no time diving into all the fun activities on offer. The children went bowling, created amazing buildings with the Lego, took part in video games with their friends and enjoyed the soft play area. It was a fantastic day filled with teamwork, laughter, and memories that will last a long time. A big thank you to the staff at GR8 for being so welcoming and making our trip so special.

A big thank you to Mary for a wonderful Puppet Workshop as part of our Creative Schools programme. The children had a fantastic time learning all about puppetry—exploring how to use their bodies to act out different scenarios, creating characters, and bringing them to life.
They especially enjoyed making their own puppets and performing with them in our puppet theatre. It was a fun, engaging, and imaginative experience that sparked lots of creativity and laughter!
Thank you again to Mary for inspiring our young storytellers!

Cumann na mBunscol

28/5/2025

Well done to the boys in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th classes who competed very well in the Cumann na mBunscol blitz on Monday 26th May. They all represented the school so well.

Barry Brennan a former Galway County Footballer paid a very special surprise visit to the Greaghrahan boys today as they took part in the Cumann na Bunscoil. Barry was delighted to see so many young kids out playing sport. Barry also said that it was great to see some good talented footballers among the squad.

Barry was part of winning Galway team of 1976 who won the All Ireland Minor Title, he then went on to play with the Senior Galway Team from 1979 to 1987, during this team Barry was part of the winning team of 5 Connacht championships in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986 & 1987.

Barry said they are all great memories but one of his most treasured memories was captaining the Galway side in 1980 & 1981 where they won the 1981 league beating Roscommon by 8 points and he was awarded with an ALL STAR AWARD.

Barry was part of the team that narrowly missed out on an All Ireland title when they lost to Dublin in 1983 by 2 points.

Barry gave the boys some great advice in the dressing rooms before they went out to play their final game of the day and its safe to say that it surely resonated with the boys who played their best game of the day against a very strong Kildallan NS side who now go forward to the county final, we would like to wish Killdallan the very best of luck in the next stage of the Cumann na mBunscoil.
