6th Class have had a great start to the year and have been working really hard. At the moment, we are learning all about how Ireland gained its independence. We made a short video all about the 1916 Rising. Click on the link to check it out!

The 1916 Rising

2nd Class were very lucky to take part in Drama with Darren. We also went on our class trip last week to the Viking Splash tour, Stephen’s Green playground and McDonald’s! The biggest part of this year was our First Holy Communion – we had the best day!

Well done to all of our very talent students who all took part in our end of year Arts Show today.

It was a morning filled with wonderful music and very talented actors and actresses!

It’s been a very busy couple of months for the school football team. The school football team has been training very hard every Thursday after school this year. This really showed as the team put in some excellent performance in their 11 a side matches. The team scored some great goals and it was the first time a lot of the team had played on a full sized pitch.

The team also took part in the Spar school 5 a side competition. This section of the competition was for all the schools based in North Inner city Dublin. The boys put in some fantastic performances and went on to win the competition, winning the final 5-1. This means they are now qualified for the all Dublin finals. It was a great achievement for the team and they did the Rutland N.S school badge proud.

We were really lucky today as Music Generation Dublin City stopped by to play us some traditional music.

They brought in traditional Irish instruments such as the uilleann pipes, fiddle and bodhrán.

It was the perfect start to St Patrick’s week in our school.

Don’t forget to wear something green on Thursday!

Our fabulous school turned pink recently to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer.

We raised over €6,000 euros for Breast Cancer Ireland as the children sang their hearts out for the day during a Karaoke Singathon.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the day such a wonderful occasion in the school.

To all the parents and local community who donated fantastic prizes we are incredibly grateful.

To the parents association who helped decorate the school and turn us pink for the day, we would be lost without you.

Most importantly to the amazing pupils who dressed in pink, sang their hearts out and helped raise over an incredible €6,300 euro for Breast Cancer – THANK YOU SO MUCH.

It was a day filled with smiles & songs, happiness and hope.

Thank you to everyone involved.
