Summer Reports will be sent out via Aladdin later today. I will also be emailing out the school calendar and the stationery list for next year, which will also include pupil fees.

As like last year, the Department of Education has given a book grant to all primary schools to purchase school books and copies for the children.

Last Friday, our 6th class pupils took the lead in planning and running a full day of fun-filled activities for the whole school. Each class rotated through a variety of stations — from sponge throwing and orienteering to Kahoot quizzes, board games, face painting, tattoos, and the ever-popular jumble sale. The children thoroughly enjoyed browsing and shopping, and the joyful buzz around the school was a delight to see.

A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Fitzgerald for coordinating the event so smoothly, and a huge well done to our 6th class students. Their enthusiasm, preparation, and leadership were truly impressive, and they helped make the day a fantastic experience for everyone.

Thank you also to our parents for your generous donations to the jumble sale and for supporting your child’s participation — it’s very much appreciated!

Congratulations to all the boys and girls who participated in Dangan's Got Talent on Friday afternoon!
Everyone put in an amazing effort and should be very proud.

Well done to the following pupils:

Saoirse, Killian, April, Direann, Lara, Jessica, Ellie, Arnus, Jessica , Elliot, Aoife, Grace, Sienna, Evie, and Shauna.

There was a fantastic variety of acts, including Irish dancing, jokes, dancing, and singing. The participants put on a wonderful display, and the whole school had a brilliant time watching them compete.

Special congratulations to Elliot, who was crowned Junior Winner of Dangan's Got Talent, and a huge well done to Grace & Aoife, who took the Senior title!

🎤 A special shout-out to Lochlann, who was MC for the competition and organised the music for each participant. His contribution made the whole show run seamlessly. Thank you, Lochlann!

A final word of thanks to Ms O' Brien for organising the competition again this year.

We are delighted to share that Dangan School has been awarded the 2024/2025 Pieta Amber Flag in recognition of our commitment to promoting positive mental health and wellbeing.

A huge congratulations and sincere thanks to Ms Mollison and our incredible Amber Flag Committee—a dedicated group of pupils who worked tirelessly to champion awareness and organise meaningful initiatives throughout the year.Our Amber Flag now flies high outside the school with pride, symbolising the positive spirit and efforts of everyone involved.

Well Done to the boys and girls teams from 3rd & 4th class who took part in the mini rounders competition in Trim GAA a fortnight ago. Ms Mollison was very impressed with how well you all played!

Many thanks to Jenny Rispin and all of the helpers that were in Summerhill GFC on Monday for our blitz with Coole NS. Students from 1st-6th class enjoyed many sporting games with teams mixed with pupils from Dangan and Coole. There was great skills, teamwork and effort on show. Well done to everyone for taking part in a very fun day!

Well done to all the pupils who represented the school at the athletics event in Claremont on Tuesday!
Our students took part in a range of events including long jump, ball throw, sprints, and relay races.

A big thank you to Ms. Fitzgerald and Ms. Daly for their fantastic organisation and support on the day. We’re proud to say that some pupils brought home gold, silver, and bronze medals — but more importantly, everyone gave their best and had a great time.
