Congratulations to Grace Henry and Mila Clancy who competed in the All Ireland Schools Athletics finals at the start of the summer. Our two girls fought through adversity to perform well on the day and we are all proud of them. Mila has also been selected to represent Connacht in the Tailteann Games, one of the oldest athletics competitions in the world. We wish her the best of luck in the games on Saturday the 21st of June. Recently in the Connacht club athletics Lucia McDonnell (Moy Valley AC) and Mila Clancy (Corran AC) excelled.  Lucia came third in the Long Jump and Mila won the Long Jump and came 2^nd in the 300m Hurdles (setting a new PB in the event). Both Mila and Lucia have qualified for the National Finals.  Well done to the girls and we hope you have a great summer! Special thank you to all teachers who helped organise the athletics this year: Ms Mee, Ms Brunker, Ms Hannelly and Ms. Powell.

The Cherry Blossom Tales: Reimagining the Legacy of Anne Deane

The Cherry Blossom Tales: Reimagining the Legacy of Anne Deane

Launch Event: 2pm, 2nd August 2025

Venue: Upstairs at Durkin’s Restaurant, Ballaghaderreen.

It is part of the Ballaghaderreen Arts Festival. The "Cherry Blossom Tales" is a compelling new student-led exhibition created by contemplative artist and writer Dr. Anna King, in collaboration with St. Nathy’s College, Ballaghaderreen.

The launch event will include short readings and an opportunity to meet some of the student participants. An intimate visual art exhibition will remain open to the public until 5pm that day.
This unique project is inspired by the life and legacy of Anne Deane, Ballaghaderreen’s
influential 19th-century businesswoman, activist, and a key figure in the Ladies’ Land
League — Ireland’s first political movement led by women. This powerful chapter in local
and national history is brought to life through the creative lens of a new generation.
The exhibition features original paintings, photographs, framed narrative prints, and a
process-based video performance developed during a series of workshops with Anna, in
which students responded imaginatively to Ballaghaderreen’s history and to a fictional
story set in the garden of Dillon House in 1882.

Bringing the past into the present, the exhibition invites visitors to experience local history
through storytelling, art, and the creative exploration of place. The project was supported by teachers Karen Munnelly and Conor O’Connell of St. Nathy’s College, who helped coordinate student participation and guided the development of creative responses within the school.

The Cherry Blossom Tales is supported by the Roscommon County Council Creative Ireland
Programme 2025.

Admission is free. Tickets can be booked online:
