Well done to boys from 5th and 6th Class who were victorious on Monday, 27th of February in the FAI 5-a-side soccer tournament.
      SNE played 5 group games, winning four and drawing one. This enabled us to progress to the quarter finals as group winners. Victories in the quarter and semi finals saw us through to the final where we defeated St Mary's Carrigaline in an epic encounter by 3 goals to 1. 
      The talent, skill and impressive interplay of the boys was matched by their hardwork, togetherness and determination. Each and every player displayed a great attitude and showed admirable resolve.
      Our heroic, commanding goalkeeper pulled off some eye catching saves and our  general defensive play was calm and assured. This allowed us to start our attacks on the front foot. In midfield there were powerful, surging runs both forward and back. While our attackers showed great work rate and link up play. 
     Many of the goals scored by SNE on the day would be worthy of iclusion in any Premier League Goal of the Month compilation.
     The boys now progress to the next round of the competition in Turner's Cross at the end of March. We will be training hard in the meantime!
     

      

We are all excited to have the return of our annual Scholastic Book Fair. The book fair will run from 28th February - 7th March. Children from all classes will have an opportunity to visit the book fair and make their very own wish list. It is a great chance to stock up on books for your library while also helping the school to stock up on books for every child to enjoy! 

To celebrate World Book Day on 2nd of March children are invited to dress up as their favourite book character. 

We can't wait! 

​We are currently celebrating  “Feel Good February” in Scoil Naomh Eltin. Our aim is to promote the health and happiness of each of our pupils through a positive school environment. A “Wellness Committee” has been established and a timetable of events has been co-ordinated bringing together a variety of ideas and activities for your children to enjoy. 
The theme for each day of the month is listed below and these continue for the month of February. 
Kind Regards,

Our Second Class A have become the first ever winners of the Europe Day Song Competition!. The feedback from the judges was wonderful, detailing that they were "extremely impressed with the quality of the lyrics, the creativity of the children and the quality of their video". 
The pupils will perform on stage in Cork City Hall on May 7th at the first ever Europe Day festival, a fun day out for all the family. Our Tánaiste Micheál Martin will be in attendance to answer questions from the children. They will also receive their official prize from the current French Ambassador to Ireland, Mr. Vincent Guerend. 

Please enjoy our song entry and video below!
We are so proud of them!

We are so proud of our debaters, they have made it to the semi-final of the Concern Primary Debating Tournament. They have put in hours of research and preparation for each motion and have had to think on their feet under pressure but more importantly have shown great respect for one another and their opponents. 
Maith sibh! 

We were delighted to receive the recent acknowledgement from St. Vincent De Paul. Many thanks to all who participated in our Christmas Jumper Day and helped raise the vital funds needed to help those in need in our community.
