Thank you to all parents and students for joining us on our Halloween Walk to school this morning. There was a great atmosphere in the village. The children from Senior Infants - 6th all attended assembly today. We watched highlights from the hurling final, watched a video about the Christmas Shoebox appeal, congratulated our mini-scientist winners and announced our new Student Council President and Vice President. Our school orchestra performed the Kerry Polka and Roddy McCorley. The children all sang their Halloween songs. We wish everyone in our school community an enjoyable midterm break. 

All children from Junior Infants - 6th class voted in our Student Council Election. We wish to congratulate Luke, Fiona, Odhran, Grace and Daniel for campaigning for the positions over the last few days. Our new President is Odhran Hurry and our Vice President is Fiona Traynor.

On Monday 20th October, St. Seachnall's N.S. competed in the Meath Badminton Primary Schools County Qualifier event in Claremont Stadium, Navan. The competition acts as a qualifier for the Leinster Primary Schools finals event. Our boys team came third just missing out on qualifying for the leinster finals. Our girls came 6th and played really well. It was our first time competing in badminton - well done to both teams.

Our Student Council Elections will take place on Friday 24th October - same day as the Presidential elections. Best of luck to our 5 candidates. 

The Say Yes to Languages module aims to give pupils and teachers a taste of what it means to integrate additional languages alongside English and Irish in the primary classroom.

Thank you to PJ Hegarty Construction, who have generously offered to sponsor a free STEAM/Engineering programme for our three 4th classes. The programme includes five lessons and a final project.
