Happy 145th birthday St Brendan’s PS !
On this day 2nd October in 1878 the school was opened by the Presentation Brothers – We were delighted to welcome Brother Denis to share in the celebrations today and as it was the schools birthday all boys get a night off homework this week which got a great cheer !! We look forward to another great year of continuing the work the brothers started in 1878 ❤️
Today was the raising of the “ Amber flag “ for wellness and wellbeing which our school community was awarded in 2023 🙌 The school community gathered outside at 1.40pm where Mr Crofton thanked the Amber flag committee pupils and Ms Pilkington / Ms Corcoran / Ms Collins and Ms Keogh for all their work – Cillian and Calum from 6th class outlined how they achieved the Amber school award and then they raised the flag to great cheers . Then the boys all got an ice – cream !! Happy days 😊
Great to have 2 Irish rugby jerseys now taking pride of place at our school entrance hall – these jerseys were presented to our school by past pupils Ronan Loughnane and Peter Dooley after they represented Irish teams ⭐️⭐️- hopefully these will inspire a new generation along with the coaching for classes ( 4th / 5th / 6th ) which will begin next week with coach Wren Higgins 🙌 – We look forward to cheering on the Irish Rugby team at World Cup this weekend !!

Thanks to our school chaplain Fr Anthony for joining us in our hall for our start of year prayer service. It was lovely to come together for our first school assembly of the year and to get a blessing from Fr Anthony ❤️
