We had a lovely mass this morning to celebrate Edmund Rice and had fun creating our Pilgrim Wall of Hope & Peace!

Thanks to John and those who visited today to tell us all about their upcoming cycle. This links in well with Bicycle Week next Monday. Best of luck to all in this event.

Well done to all in Mrs. Breen's class who were busy planting some lovely fruit, vegetables and flowers. 

On Wednesday last, Mrs. O' Connell, Mrs. Breen, Audrey and 6 pupils left Limerick junction bright and early for a trip to Dublin. We were selected to represent all the primary schools in Ireland in a Maths Forum based on the new curiculum. All had a great day out and well done to Mrs. O' Connell who gave a wonderful presentation to all in attendence on the great work we do in Doon CBS.

Thanks to Marji for teaching all the pupils of the CBS Irish Sign Language over the last few weeks. We have all learned a lot. 

Congratulations to Ryan Stapleton and Cathal Morrissey who represented our school with pride in the Mackey Cup last Tuesday. Ryan played in goals and Cathal at corner back. The East came up just short against a strong City team who would be eventual winners. 

Well done to our mini 7's hurling team who won the East title on Wednesday. We now qualify to contest county honours in April, looking to retain our title. Maith sibh buachaillí.

To celebrate World Book Day 2025 we had a whole school orienteering activity. All pupils were divided into mixed class teams and their knowledge tested on some of the various class novels covered this year. Many thanks to the student council for this wonderful active suggestion. 

Some photos from our Science day. Thanks to all the parents who came to see the great work being done in Doon CBS. 

Pancake Tuesday is always a popular day in Doon CBS. Many thanks to Audrey & Mary for all their hard work and Mrs. Breen for organising. The pancakes were delicious!!

Well done to Dara Kennedy 4th class who won the Regional Primary Category in the National Attendance poster awareness campaign. 

The National School Attendance Poster Competition is aimed at getting behind schools, pupils, parents/guardians and communities to raise awareness about the importance of regular school attendance. 

Many thanks to Maryanne Lowney from TESS who presented Dara with his art hamper. The school also received a monatory prize which went to buying all the kids in the school a treat, while Dara and his class will be going on a day out in the near future. 

Congratulations Dara, we are all proud of you!
