The victorious Junior Ladies team visited our school on Friday last. We were lucky enough to have past pupils - Christina Broderick & Tracy McCarthy - present to show the children what they can aspire to achieve. The County and Munster Champions are a credit to the club and the town. We would like to congratulate them on their hugely successful year. Well done girls!

​DVDs of our musical will be sold at €5.00. 

You may pre-order at the school office or at the
door on both nights.  A raffle will be held during
​the interval on both nights with very generous prizes.

We look forward to meeting you on the night.

​Scoil Naomh Eltin wishes to express sincere thanks to Cork County Council and Mr. Ian Mc Donagh for enabling its students to take part in this project with the aid of grant assistance from Cork County Council Arts Grant Scheme 2016.
Sarah O’ Brien, a wonderful artist, worked with 3rd and 5th class students at Scoil Naomh Eltin.
3rd class visited the local museum where the pupils sketched items in their sketch pads. Pupils were also encouraged to use their sketch pads outside of school. The progress made by every child was wonderful – their attention to detail, shape, line and colour.
5th class based their art workshop on the local marsh as this was their topic of choice for the BT Young Scientist competition also. We learned so much both in class and on our visits to the marsh. Goethes color triangle, water colours, clay, blind drawings and collage were just some of the areas we explored. The art projects we completed really brought our study on the marsh to life and we are so thankful to Sarah and Cork County Council for enabling this to happen.
