School Tours

Junior/Senior Infants and First/Second classes went to the Zoo this year. We had a great day. We took a tour all around the African Savannah where we saw lots of African animals including the giraffes, rhinos and hippos. We loved seeing all the baby elephants too. One of our highlights was the New Zoorassic World. We saw crocodiles, snakes and here is picture of us with the skeleton of a T-Rex!

World Book Day

First Holy Communion

On Saturday 12th May, the boys and girls from Mrs. O’ Mara’s 2nd class made their First Holy Communion. It was  a beautiful  ceremony, filled with beautiful readings, prayers and music. Well done to the children on what was a joyous occasion. Thank you also to the wonderful parents council and their helpers for decorating the school and providing us with beautiful cakes and buns. It was a day to remember for all.

Athletics

Congratulations to our very own Aoife Rohan who is the current U13 All Ireland high jump champion. This is a fantastic achievement and the staff and students are extremely proud of Aoife.

Well done to all the boys and girls who competed in the recent Community Games event held in Duleek.

Confirmation 2018

Congratulations and well done to the boys and girls in Miss Breen’s 6th class who were recently Confirmed by Bishop Micheal Smith. It was a lovely ceremony and they did our school proud.

Gardening News

Thank you to Mrs Mc Guinness and all the helpers from Mrs Light’s class who spent some quality time down in the garden recently.

We are looking forward to watching your efforts blossom

The Snow of 2018

Well done to parents and children and staff in Scoil Naomh Treasa, Bellewstown who worked so hard in the miserable rain this morning from 10 to 11:00am to help make the snow ‘disappear’ and have safe footpaths for you all tomorrow. It was hard work until two very welcome diggers / dumpers appeared and cut the workload ahead by at least 95%. -Frank Wall and Declan Rohan were the expert skilled drivers  creating a mountain of snow while shovel workers gazed in grateful appreciation . Miss Breen was there early to make sure the kettle was on ensuring there was a cup of tea after the hard efforts made by all.
Thanks to all the families who made the effort  to clear the snow – not easy at any time but especially on a Sunday morning . Hope you all  have a  restful day ahead  . So sorry children that all the fun snow is gone . It will be back again —  hopefully not until sometime  in years far away !

Mrs. Mc Guinness

Sacrament of Reconciliation 2018

Congratulations and well done to all the children from Mrs. O’Mara’s 2nd class who recently celebrated their First Confession with Fr. John. It was a very special evening for the children and their parents.

SNOW!

The children made the most of the recent cold weather at lunch time. Lots of fun was had making snowmen, snowwomen, and I think even a snowdog was spotted!

U11 and U13 Quiz Teams – 2018

Our U11 and U13 Quiz Teams took part in the Duleek Credit Union quiz last Sunday 28th January. Well done to all four teams, especially one of the U11 teams, who took part in a nail biting tie-breaker where they were pipped at the post!

U11 Cross Country Champs 2017

A huge congratulations to the boys on our U11 team who were the winners of the Cumann na mBunscoil Cross Country race this year. It was a momentous occasion for the our school community and we are so very proud of each and everyone of them.

James Mc Hugh competed in the U13′s race and came in at an incredible 4th place! Although this is a team event and does not recognise individual places, this is a wonderful personal achievement for James.

Well done to all our students from Scoil Naomh Treasa who particpated in the cross country race this year

U11 Small School’s Champions with Niamh Ronan, event organiser

FAI Schools Futsal

Well done to all the boys from 3rd and 4th class who took part in the recent Futsal competition that was held in Gormanstown college. The boys came very close to beating one of the best teams in the blitz, but sadly it wasn’t to be. Well done boys, we are all very proud of you!

 Be Active Week 2017

A big well done to all the boys and girls in Scoil Naomh Treasa for taking part in our Be Active week. We set ourselves the challenge of walking all the way across Europe to Bratislava! A super effort was put in both at school and at home. We didn’t quite make it Bratislava but we did make it past Vienna which was a whopping 2094kms away. Incredible!

The students from 5th & 6th class challenged the teachers to a tournament as part of Be Active week. They competed in basketball, penalty shoot out and the one both students and teachers were looking forward to…….dodgeball! Despite some excellent goalkeeping from Mr. Walsh, some astonishingly good goals from Mrs Mc Guinness and Ms. Breen the students were the over all winners. Well done to all the boys and girls in 5th & 6th class. We’ll be back next year
