We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge a very special member of staff who will be retiring at the end of June after 21 years of dedicated service to our school community. Throughout her time in St Colman's Bann, Eileen has shown unwavering commitment, care and kindness to the pupils of our school.

To mark this significant milestone, she was presented with a small token of our sincere appreciation and gratitude. We wish her every happiness, good health, and many enjoyable years ahead in her well-deserved retirement.

We are incredibly proud of our school netball team, who represented us so brilliantly today in the area final. While they were narrowly beaten by a very strong Derrymacash side, their determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship were outstanding from start to finish.

The girls demonstrated resilience, skill, and a fantastic attitude throughout the match, and they should hold their heads high after such a closely fought contest. They continue to be wonderful role models for our school community, showing commitment, respect, and positivity both on and off the court.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Mrs McMeekin, who has given so generously of her time and energy to coach the team this year. Her dedication and encouragement have played a huge part in the team’s success and development.

Well done to all involved — we couldn’t be prouder!

Congratulations to the P7 children who celebrated their Confirmation yesterday evening. 

A sincere thank you to Father Brian for leading such a meaningful and uplifting celebration and to our school choir, whose singing added such warmth and spirit to the ceremony. 

Most importantly, we want to congratulate our P7 children who were confirmed. You conducted yourselves with great maturity, respect, and pride. Each of you played your part beautifully, and we hope you will remember the occasion with joy for many years to come.

What a fantastic World Book Day we’ve had! The children’s enthusiasm, creativity and love for reading shone brightly throughout the day. 
Their costumes were absolutely wonderful—thank you for the time, effort and imagination that went into helping the children dress up as their favourite book characters.
