Summer Holidays
On behalf of all the staff in Ballindaggin NS I would like to thank all parents, pupils and members of the wider school community for their kind words of thanks over the last few days in the run up to the end of the school year.
It has been another wonderful year in the school with lots of awards won, county finals reached and most importantly new things learned in every classroom.
Over the summer, maintenance works will be ongoing inside the school building to further enhance our school.
We hope that everyone of our pupils has a wonderful summer and we look forward to seeing you all on August 30th.
Slán,
Conor Mc Donald

On Tuesday April 2nd Ms. Whitty and Mr. Mc Donald traveled to Europe House in Dublin with 15 pupils from 5th/6th Class to participate in the ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Semi-Finals, also known as the ‘ecodens.’
The 15 pupils were divided between three projects;
- Cup Alert – this group of four girls had raised awareness around the issue of single use coffee cups and the negative effect they were having on the environment. They encouraged as many people as they could to start using their own reusable cup.
- Save a Bit Start to Switch – a group comprised of six fifth class boys. They concentrated on raising awareness around the negative impact of fossil fuels, particularly petrol and diesel. They encouraged people to buy electric cars.
- The Wildflower Girls – this group of five fifth class girls took an interest in biodiversity. They were raising awareness about habitat destruction and encouraged people to sow wildflowers in their gardens to help out pollinators.
You can learn more about the different projects by visiting the groups blogs:
