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

Second & third class went on their school tour to Baltinglass. The boys had such fun kayaking in the river!

What a way to end Wellbeing Week - a visit from the famous Teddy’s ice-cream van.

We got great weather for this year’s Soccerthon☀️

An annual highlight in the HBNS calendar! Second class really enjoyed their first show with Dave & his animals.

The boys really enjoyed the workshop with author, Aoife Dooley, in Merrion Square Park.

The boys did a great job making their own transformations across their lines of symmetry (pencils). The shapes we have in our classroom help us to visualise the idea the shape is ‘flipped’.

After reading the story Silly Billy, the boys made their very own worry dolls from Guatemala using clay.

The boys did a great job sketching our lovely school while the sun was shining.

Second class did a great job for this year’s National Spring Clean, up and down St. Patrick’s Road. Well done boys!

A great way to visualise the water cycle in action in our classroom!

The much-anticipated annual clash, between the sixth class boys and the staff was a great spectacle. Well done to all who took part, particularly to the staff who narrowly won by 17-16.

Many thanks to Ms. Crowley for setting up a scavenger hunt around the school to find letters, that made a ten-letter word!

Well done to everyone who took part in this year’s penalty shoot out. And in particular, to the two finalists who made it through to Friday’s final - maith sibh!

The boys had a great day up Killiney Hill to kickstart Active School Week 2026.

Bhaineamar a lán taitneamh as Twister as Gaeilge.

The boys made beautiful Easter Baskets. They came in handy for their scavenger hunt, looking for chocolate eggs hidden in our school garden.

Every year at HBNS we hold a book cover Art competition for World Book Day. Congratulations to these three boys who are this year’s worthy winners.

A big thank you to Ms.O’Carroll and the boys in Rang a Sé for doing a healthy eating workshop with us. The boys enjoyed writing short narratives about Victor the Vegetable and tasting delicious smoothies too.
