Meath River Rescue visit Ard Rí Community NS
The children at Ard Rí Community National School were delighted to welcome Peter Boland and Claire Whyte on Wednesday 11.05.2017. ‘This month the boys and girls are all learning about water safety in class so it was great to have the guys from Meath River Rescue in to really bring it to life for them’ said Junior Infant teacher Maria Bradley O’Connor. The children were fascinated with the rib Peter brought down. ‘My favourite part of the job is coming to schools and teaching the children about river safety’ said Peter who is a diver with the voluntary organisation, ‘I hope that from this they will be more careful around water and in years to come they might even get involved with the Rescue Team’ Everyone at Ard Rí Community National School would like to thank Peter and Claire for giving up their time to teach the children about this very special community...Holi 2017 at Ard Rí Community National School
We laughed, shared food and celebrated our diversity together… On Friday 24.03.2017 the Ard Rí CNS community came together to celebrate the Hindu Holi Festival. Every year the community holds a different cultural celebration.The staff worked in partnership with the Indian families whose children attend the school and the most important aspects of Hinduism and Indian life were decided upon to teach the children. During the week the children learned about India in class through story, poems, research projects and the preparation of displays. On Thursday each class enjoyed yoga workshops. On Friday the Parent Association and Indian families provided Indian food and we were joined by our guest of honor Swami Purnananda. The whole community came together and Swami Purnananda spoke about the value of a life, how each day is important and how special each individual life is. Children then took part in the Colour Ceremony and we spread coloured powder to celebrate the coming of spring and the friendship and love that we share together....Seachtain na Gaeilge 2017

Our Senior School Choir accompanied The Three Tenors Ireland at our local Solstice Arts Centre on Friday 10th of February 2017. The school choir, on only it’s third public performance, looked completely at ease as they performed confidently on the big stage with Derek, Dominic and Shane who perform up to 100 concerts annually in such prestigious venues as the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Cork Opera House, Killarney INEC and Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin and have been interviewed live on air by both BBC and RTE Radio One and most recently on TV3 Ireland. The choir accompanied the tenors for the chorus of ‘Home From the Sea’ as well as giving their own rousing renditions of ‘When I Grow Up’ from Matilda- The Musical and ‘Firework’ by Katy Perry. Our choir co-ordinator Ms Eimear Donnelly deserves special mention for preparing the children for the big event. We hope this was a night the children will never forget. The choir will perform next at The National Basketball Arena in Tallaght for Corfhéile na Scoileanna on Tuesday 07.03.2017. We are looking forward to seeing them on the big stage...Winter Show 2016
