Welcome

🎭We couldn’t be prouder of Ms Connolly 🎭

🐔🌾 Trip to Lisavaird Co-Op! 🌾🐔 Ms O’Shea and her team had a wonderful shopping trip to Lisavaird Co-Op to pick up essential supplies for our chickens 🛒🐓. As part of caring for our hens, it’s important that we develop a full understanding of every aspect of caring for our hens — from choosing the right feed 🌽 to ensuring they have everything they need to stay healthy, active and content 🥚✨. Experiences like this help us connect learning with real responsibility 📚💛 and show how thoughtful preparation plays a big part in animal care 🌿🐔. A big thank you to the fantastic staff at Lisavaird Co-Op for their help and guidance — we really appreciate the support! 🙌😊

We are incredibly fortunate in Scoil na mBuachaillí to be part of such a vibrant and supportive town 🌍💙 Our pupils don’t just learn within the walls of the classroom — they benefit from the many opportunities available across Clonakilty. From working alongside Clonakilty Tidy Towns 🌿 and supporting environmental initiatives, to visiting our local library 📚, and taking part in community projects, festivals and sporting events ⚽🎶, our pupils experience first-hand what it means to belong to an active and connected community. These partnerships enrich learning, build civic pride and remind us all that education extends well beyond the school gates. We value the continued collaboration with the many local organisations and agencies that contribute so much to school life 🤝 If any local organisation would be interested in supporting educational experiences for our pupils through collaboration or shared initiatives, we would be delighted to explore opportunities to work together. Please feel free to contact the Principal, Norma Harte, through the school office.
