Last week, at Mass, we marked John Cosgrave’s retirement from our Board of Management after an incredible 20 years - answering the call to serve five times!
Mr. O’Donnell made a welcome return to reflect on John’s quiet, gentle and steadfast contribution. He spoke of John’s strong personal faith and the question that guided his service: “Will this be best for the children in our care?” It was, Mr. O’ Donnell said, a privilege to serve alongside him.
Thank you, John, for your generosity, wisdom and dedication to our school community for over two decades. You have made a lasting difference.

🔢🎃 Maths Week Fun in Senior Infants & 1st Class! 📐🎨
What a fantastic week of mathematical fun, exploration and learning! 🌟
Our Senior Infants and 1st Class pupils were busy exploring 2D shapes, getting creative with pumpkin face printing, enjoying lots of maths talk, and putting their problem-solving skills to the test with a Maths Hunt! 🔍
We also loved seeing the children’s fantastic ‘All About Me’ maths homework, their creativity in the Maths Art Competition, and the fun they had playing maths games with Rang a Cúig! 🎲🧮
Go raibh maith agaibh Rang a Cúig!
Míle buíochas do Ms. Dunne for providing so many wonderful activities and for organising the Maths Art Competition, complete with fabulous prizes! 🏆👏
A brilliant week of learning, creativity, teamwork and fun was had by all! 💛

Today, our teachers and SNAs stood together on the picket line with our unions, INTO and Fórsa. 🪧 We want to take a moment to thank the wonderful people of Carnew and the wider community for their continued support.
From the constant beeps, thumbs up and waves of encouragement to the good-luck wishes, kind words and lovely treats to keep us going, every little gesture has meant so much to us! Thank you from the staff in Scoil Aodán Naofa ❤️
