Three unforgettable nights —don’t miss out!
Last week, our very talented and hardworking Transition Year (TY) students embraced the festive spirit by making beautiful handmade Christmas wreaths. A big thank you to Amy Fox-Lunt, Caisigh Woods, Ivy O’Connor, Chloe Casey-Lavin, Tom Creaton, Cormac Duffy, and Tori Duffy for giving so generously of their time.
Working with care and enthusiasm, the students transformed an array of natural materials into stunning decorations that will brighten homes, front doors and graves across Ballaghaderreen.
Each wreath featured holly, ivy, red berries, and evergreen leaves—thoughtfully selected and arranged with creativity and precision. Traditionally, the circular shape of a wreath symbolises God’s strength, eternal life, and unending love, making these creations even more special.
Sustainability was at the heart of the project. The students began by weaving sturdy bases from sally rods, sourced from the school’s own hedges and trees. Layers of greenery—holly, ivy, and fern—were then added, followed by charming finishing touches such as pinecones, conifers, twigs, dried orange and apple slices, berry sprigs, and festive bells and bows. Equipped with secateurs and wire cutters, the group showed incredible teamwork and attention to every minute detail. The results speak for themselves! A big "Thank You" to mary Moylett who brought the holly all the way from Foxford!
In a beautiful gesture of remembrance, the students also created wreaths to adorn the Bishops’ graves at the Cathedral, highlighting the true spirit of Christmas: love, giving, and community.

A huge "Thank You" to our Transition Year students who spent time this past week writing and beautifully decorating Christmas cards for residents in nursing homes. This wonderful act of kindness, part of the CarePack.ie campaign and supported by An Post, helps bring warmth, joy, and festive cheer to those who may feel lonely at Christmas. One small act of kindness can make such a big difference for others—thank you for helping to brighten the season!
On Monday, our Transition Year students headed to Sligo for a day packed with Christmas fun. First stop was Sligo on Ice, where they swapped shoes for skates and took to the rink. While there were a few wobbly starts, it wasn’t long before most were gliding confidently across the ice—though some were happy to accept a helping hand from the friendly polar bears!
After an hour of skating, laughter, and plenty of photo opportunities, students rounded off the trip with some last-minute Christmas shopping in town. It was a wonderful way to kick off the last week of school.
