Farewell Rang a Dó. Have a great summer!

A big well done to these boys for taking part in this year’s HBNS Talent Show. So brave to stand up and perform in front of the whole school!

With summer just around the corner, the boys brought their teddy bears to school for a picnic up Killiney Hill. The playground was great fun too!

We had a great day at Sandycove Beach for our sandcastle competition☀️

Using Roy Lichtenstein as our inspiration the boys designed Pop Art names.

Second class enjoyed their first ever Sports Day at Harold Boys’. Everyone had a great day at Cuala, we were very lucky with the weather.

Everyone enjoyed all of the activities on offer at Baltinglass Outdoor Education Centre - kayaking, archery, orienteering, climbing, abseiling & zip-lining.
