Congratulations to our Sixth Class Graduates Cillian, Evan G, Evan H, Jack, James B, James M, Hugh Mark and Naomi who finished their primary education at Greaghrahan NS. On Friday 17th June we celebrated the Sixth Class Graduation and it was wonderful to have all the childrens parents in attendance. The Sixth Class students were treated to a Pizza Party to celebrate the end of their time in Primary School. We thank the sixth class students for all their contributions to school life in Greaghrahan NS. Each one of them has done us proud. We wish them every success in their future as they embark on their next stage of their educational journey.

The 361st International Astronomical Union (IAU) Symposium: 'Massive Stars Near and Far' was held in the Slieve Russell Hotel on Wednesday 11th May. This International Conference brought together astrophysicists from many different countries to discuss all aspects of massive stars.

To celebrate the occasion, Armagh Observatory and Planetarium  invited pupils from Greaghrahan N.S. to participate in an immersive stellar experience in their outreach dome. Helen and Ria guided the pupils with their fun, interactive virtual presentation as they explored the planets of the Solar System and journeyed through the night sky. It was an amazing experience which was much enjoyed by all.   Thank you to all at Armagh Observatory and Planetarium for giving us this unique opportunity right on our doorstep.

On the 16th of March, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day and the end of Seachtain na Gaeilge by dressing in green for Lá Glas,  All week the pupils made an extra effort to speak Gaeilge around the school. They were also busy practising their Irish songs for the concert that each class put on for the rest of the school.  Spirits were high as the children got ready to celebrate Lá Fhéile Pádraig. 

On World Book Day we visited our local library in Ballyconnell. Jacqueline, the librarian told us the history of the library and that that the building used to be a church. It still has stained glass windows. It is now a library serving the people of Ballyconnell and the surrounding areas. We admired the amazing new feature in the kids area of the library. The children got to browse the shelves and everyone selected two books to take home with them.  There are books to interest people of all ages. Joining the library is easy. You just go in and fill out a form or register online. Then you can borrow lots of books and DVD's. There are also hundreds of audiobooks to listen to on Borrowbox.  You can read  eMagazines and eNewspapers online and take a course or learn a new language. The library is an amazing resource. Thank you Jacqueline for showing us around, we hope to see you again soon!

Thanks to Bláthnaid Sheridan and Darragh Dolan from Drumlane GAA Club who took the boys and girls for a training session last week.  The students had a fantastic time and really enjoyed learning new skills. 

We celebrated Shrove Tuesday on March 1st with our friends. The students got to choose their  favourite toppings  and the pancakes were delicious! We wish it could be Pancake Tuesday every Tuesday! ​

On Feel Good Friday, the Amber Flag committee organised an “Inside Out Day” to show that sometimes how someone looks on the outside does not reflect how they feel on the inside so we should always be kind to others. The students got to wear their own colourful clothes to school inside out to promote how important it is to not keep your feelings inside and to share these with someone you trust . Our goal for the Amber Flag was to hold a fundraiser event for Pieta House and we are delighted to have raised €320. Well done to all our pupils for taking part and thanks to everyone for your generous donations. We relaxed in the afternoon with a movie  where we watched the popular “Inside Out” based on Wellbeing. Hot chocolate and cookies were enjoyed by all the pupils. Storm Eunice abated in time for the pupils to enjoy a fun Dance Party on the yard to finish off a fabulous week. ​
