This is a great fundraiser to get your pupils involved in as it fun for young people and it also encourages physical activity.

  We are asking all pupils taking part to dress in something colourful for the dance challenge to represent the colours of the spectrum and raise autism acceptance in their school.

• Football Success

  Wed 25 Mar 2026

  A huge well done to our P6/7 boys gaelic football team who are through to the Carragher Cup Championship Final. The boys battled with great spirit and determination to seal the victory today in an extremely close encounter. The boys had to play through difficult weather conditions throughout the game but this didnt stop the team putting 100%  effort into the game. A huge well done to Our Lady Queen of Peace for the game and being fantastic competitors today.

   

  We look forward to the final which will be scheduled after Easter. 🙌

  ☘️ St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations at School ☘️

  We had a fantastic day celebrating St. Patrick’s Day! The school was filled with a sea of green as pupils and staff embraced the festive spirit.

  From creative arts and crafts to lively music and dancing, everyone enjoyed taking part in the fun activities. A big highlight of the day was seeing the wonderful effort put into outfits and the smiles all around.

  Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special. It was a great way to celebrate our culture, community, and togetherness.

  Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us! 💚
