World champion Caradh O'Donovan came in to visit us here at St. John of God NS. She coached the girls in a variety of exercises that she says are the key to keeping our bodies strong and healthy. She also spoke to us about how we should never give up on our dreams! We are certainly going to take her advice as Caradh has represented Ireland in 3 sports and is now training really hard to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Have a look at some of our photos from this special training session. Check out this tweet from Caradh after she came to visit! We are so happy to see she enjoyed being at our school! https://twitter.com/CaradhODonovan/status/960905113803067393 Here are all the girls who never missed a day during the months of November, December and January!

We had a great day on Friday 27th October as the whole school gathered together in the hall for our annual Céilí na Samhna. Each class put a lot of practice into learning their Céilí dance.

We got a visit from the infamous Sam Maguire Cup. A huge thank you to Colm McDonald and Céiligh for bringing him along. Up the Dubs!

The Artane Beaumont Recreational Centre was a hub of excitement for our annual St. John of God Family Bingo Fundraiser. It was unlucky for some but for the winners it was a little slice of heaven with some going home with dinner vouchers, tickets for the city bus tour, board games, jewellery, a bike and much much more! Thanks to our super Parent's Association for organising and hosting another successful event and to all the companies and businesses who sponsored us. We couldn't do it without you all!
Here are some photos from the day.
Today, Friday 30th June, the Junior and Senior Infants teddy bears were invited into school for a very special Teddy Bear's Picnic. Despite a few growls and roars all our fluffy friends were very well behaved, especially during our end of year assembly. The girls were treated to an ice pop and took turns introducing their teddy bears and telling us a little bit about them.
A huge congratulations to the girls in Sixth Class who today received their Speech and Drama exam awards. Four girls in the class had all their certificates and received great results in their drama exams throughout their 8 years in St. John of God G.N.S. It is because of this that they received a very special Medal from Ms. Noone. One of the girls received a trophy as she received distinction in all of her exams! A huge well done to each and every one of the girls and to all the girls in the younger classes, make sure you mind all your certificates very carefully so when you are in Sixth Class you may receive a medal too!
Summer Holidays are nearly here and hopefully the sun will come back out for the next two months.
We will get our holidays on Friday the 30th June. Junior and Senior Infants will finish at 12:05. 1st- 5th class will finish at 12:15. Bring a small healthy snack for small break. There will be no school lunches on Friday. Have a great Summer and we look forward to seeing you all on Thursday, 31st August. Today the girlS in Senior Infants brought home their sunflowers. It has been hard work looking after them, making sure they get enough sunlight and water, and trying to rescue them from whoever is nibbling on their leaves! The first photo is the first batch of sunflower seeds we planted and the second photo are the seeds we planted recently. They have more growing to do!
Hopefully they will grow even more when they are planted in the ground or in bigger pots at home! Please email us in some photos of your sunflowers over the summer holidays and we can add them to the website. Well done to all our budding gardeners!
