Our School

The current school was opened in 1990 as the old presentation primary school was deemed  unsuitable and subsequently demolished. The site for the new school was donated by the Presentation Sisters. The school serves 240 children from Junior Infants to sixth class.

Our school Song

In 2010 it was decided to create a school song. 4th and 5th class were given the air to A Mhuire Mháthair. The song was aptly named The Convent Girls. Below is the first verse and chorus.
