Cong National School

Our 3rd & 4th class pupils recently performed with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland at the Peace Proms 2026 concert at the University of Limerick.  The Peace Proms Initiative believe that music is a universal language- a powerful force of connection, healing, transformation and hope.  Preparation for the Peace Proms concert involved months of classroom based practice in Cong N.S. by our third and fourth class pupils and a class trip to U.L. last November for a Peace Prom

We celebrated World Book Day by bringing in our favourite books to school and dressing up as our favourite characters. During Reading Buddies, senior pupils helped junior pupils explore new words, build confidence and discover the joy of storytelling.

The children enjoyed some delicious pancakes for Pancake Tuesday. A big THANK YOU to Deirdre, Aoibheann and the parents association for making this happen. The children were spoilt for choice with various toppings on offer. They were yummy, thumbs up all around!!!
