May the 4th be with you! It's #StarWarsDay and the children are really getting into character. #Roleplay has great benefits for children; developing their social skills, empathy & imagination. It's great fun too! #aistear #play #MayThe4thBeWithYou #schooldays

The students are enjoying #music lessons out in the fresh air with local musician & tutor, Mary Graham. The sound of beating #drums can probably be heard across the valley as far as Croghan Hill ⛰ #wellbeing #holisticeducation #musiceducation

Decorating a #MayBush is an ancient Irish tradition to signal the first day of Summer in which children would tie colourful ribbons, papers or tinsel to a hawthorn tree. It was believed that this would bring good luck and protection to our food crops and milk yield @duchas_ie

Our Confirmation Class enjoyed a great outing to Glendalough with the Confirmation Class of Scoil San Eoin in Redcross. On our retreat we visited the Holy Well of St Kevin and other locations associated with Kevin of Glendalough. Big thanks to Fr Pat of the Tearmann Centre.

Beautiful Ballycoog on St Brigid's Day. Unfortunately, Grandparents Day had to be rescheduled until next Friday, February 8th. The Gorey Credit Union Quiz scheduled for tonight has been cancelled,
Rainy Day GAA Training with Tommy youtu.be/7luxCWXJPN0 via @YouTube No such thing as bad weather as an excuse for not being active. At Ballycoog NS, we are lucky to have Tommy to inspire and enthuse our pupils. #GAA #Wicklow #Exercise

New Year, new name. Official recognition has been granted to change our school name from Ballintemple NS to Ballycoog NS. In 2018, we celebrated 50 years in our current location. 2019 heralds a bright future for us in partnership with our onsite preschool which opens in September
Welcome back everyone after the Christmas break. Happy New Year to all for 2019. We reflect on a very busy first term. Our children provided great joy to the Asgard Lodge and St Colman's Nursing Homes by putting a Nativity, pantomime and talent show. Such a rewarding experience.
Welcome back to all following the Halloween Break. For seven weeks until Christmas on Mondays, we will hold a whole school assembly. The emphasis during assembly will be on effective communication and pupil participation. This forum will promote pupil achievement and talent also.
