We are so proud of our Girls who won the final! This is the first time a girls’ football team brought silverware back to school. It was a riveting game and it was fantastic to see so many supporters on the day. Certainly a day to remember! Coill Chluana Abú! #girlpower #historymakers
We had a special ‘Up For The Match’ assembly today! Motivational words from past pupil Donnacha Tobin and from Mrs. Keane. David Lambert was presented with a school jacket to acknowledge his assistance in getting the girls this far. A wonderful occasion for everyone present. Coill Chluana Abú!
We are counting down the days to the Girls' Football Final on Saturday 17th November. The excitement is building and we hope to see lots of supporters in Páirc Tailteann on the day!

European Week of Sport
In Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa we recognise the importance of exercise for the mental and physical development of our children. As part of the EU week of Sport, which ran from the 25th to 29th September, teachers allocated time on a daily basis for the children in their class to “run a mile with a smile”. This culminated at 10 am on Friday with the entire school participating for 10 minutes in a range of activities, which, as can be seen from the photos below, included football, chasing, agility exercises and parachute games.

Whole School Evaluation April 2016:
The Board of Management of Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa welcomes this very positive and affirmative WSE report. The report acknowledges and affirms the commendable learning achievements and the quality of teaching in our school. The Board is pleased that the report also affirms the very high standard of support for pupils’ well being. The Board of Management believes that this report is a tribute to the commitment, dedication and vision of the school staff, parents and wider school community.
The Board notes the recommendations made and will support the school in their implementation. Assessment information will continue to be used systematically to guide planning and approaches to differentiation. Teachers have received preliminary training in the new Primary Language Curriculum and specific curriculum-based learning outcomes are identified in the planning for all classroom interventions. The targets in all individual support plans for pupils with special educational needs are outlined in specific and measurable language and are closely linked to priority learning needs. The Board of Management acknowledges and supports the participation of one of the learning support teachers in the post-graduate diploma in inclusive, learning support and special education in 2016-17.
