Scoil Mhuire

Gach bliain, um Nollaig, reachtáiltear crannchur ar son acmhainní agus áiseanna spóirt & siamsaíochta na Scoile.  Is scoil bheag sinn, agus léirítear é seo sna deontaisí a thagann chughainn.  Dá bhrí sin, táimíd ag brath go mór ar an gcrannchur seo mar acmhainn scoile.
Bheimís go mór faoi chomaoin agaibh dá dtacófar lenár gcrannchur. Tá ticéidí ar díol ag €2 an ceann ag daltaí na scoile, I Siopa Uí Dhunnín agus ar fáil ón scoil.
Beidh an tarraingt ar siúl Dé Céadaoin 21ú lá Nollag sula scarfaimid do Laethanta Saoire na Nollag.

Scoil Mhuire

Each Christmas we hold a raffle in Scoil Mhuire, Ballingeary, to raise much needed funds. We are a very small second level school and our Capitation Grant reflects this fact.  Consequently, we depend greatly on money raised by this raffle.
 We rely on the generous support from the community for this raffle. Tickets are for sale for €2 each and are available from our students, Siopa Uí Dhuinnín and the school.
The draw will take place on Wednesday 21st December before we break for Christmas Holidays.

Alternatively, anyone who wishes to make an online donation can donate locally on svp.ie/donate

We would like to thank you for your generous contributions to our annual appeal via the church collections over the years.  All monies collected is used to assist those in need in our parish.  We ask to please consider making a contribution, no matter what size, in the new formats outlined above to our annual appeal this year.

Co-Action Child and Family Centre

Nóta ó Síle Teddy

We are one of the families in West Cork who attend the Co-Action Child and Family Centre in Slip Road, Bantry. This centre opened in 2011 and was entirely funded by the community of Bantry and beyond. It is a purpose built building that provides essential therapeutic services to over 180 children with additional needs. The services provided include Psychology, Speech and Language Therapy, Physio and Occupational Therapy.

Our Tadhg has been linked in with Co-Action’s services since he was a few months old and receives support services in Bantry’s Child and Family Services on a weekly basis. Much of Tadhg’s progress over the past few years is thanks to the variety of supports he continuously receives from all the staff within this setting.

We have been told, without any consultation from the Management and the Board of Trustees to parents, that the centre will be converted into a permanent residential unit and that children who attend the centre will have to share a building with the adult day services. The families of children and adults who use the services are absolutely distraught about this proposal and believe it will without doubt affect the services provided for all involved and does not represent value for money.

Please sign the online petition in opposition to these proposed changes!

Seanfhocail Seachtain 40

As an gcaint a thagas na buillí. Blows come from talk.

An té a mbíonn ceird aige bíonn beatha aige. He who has a trade has a livelihood.

Ná tabhair breith ar an gcéad scéal. Hear both sides of the story.

Eist leis na seanfhocail anseo – Listen to the proverbs here.
