‘Our Ocean Our Future’ Programme

Oct 21 2022

Recently our 6th classes in Nagle Rice had the fun task of taking care of some Native Sea Animals. Both classes were giving a lesson about Marine Life from Marine Biologist Conor Hinchcliffe from Sea Synergy, Waterville. Each class were tasked with looking after an aquarium for 10 days. We had Shore Crabs, several Gastropods, Prawn, Sea Anemone, Shanny fish(common Blenny) and the STAR of the show (pic 3) Common Starfish. While we observed and recorded to our hearts content we also took time to show off our precious creatures to all the classes in the school. (pic 4,5 and 6) On Conor’s return the pupils showcased their group projects which had been worked on over the 10 days. This was a wonderful start to our Green school theme for this school year, Global Citizenship – Marine Environment. Mr. F.

Thank You Mr. Fell

Jun 23 2022

It has been a very busy few weeks here at Nagle-Rice since Mr. Fell announced his retirement. We were blessed to have such a humble and caring man at the helm for the past 16 years. This week we have been celebrating Mr. Fell with a wonderful week of songs, poems, music, ice-cream van, parties and more. Special thanks to Gina and all our Parent’s Association who have done an unbelievable job behind the scenes preparing the party bags for all pupils, balloon displays and for the fabulous food display the gave to the staff during the week. They have gone above and beyond. We really appreciate it.

Each class has been busy with art displays honouring our wonderful leader. We will miss you so much Mr. Fell. We thank you for all you have done at Nagle-Rice.  Go n-éirí leat. “Look back with graciousness and thanks on all your great and quiet achievements”-(John O’Donoghue)

Nagle Rice Welcomes Minister Norma Foley and Minister Jack Chambers

Apr 29 2022

Today we were honoured to welcome Minister for Education  Ms. Norma Foley and Minister for Sport Mr. Jack Chambers to Nagle Rice School. What a wonderful occasion to relaunch ‘The Daily Mile’ in association with ‘Athletics Ireland’. We were delighted to welcome Mr. Hamish Adams CEO of Athletics Ireland, Mr. Frank Greally, Ambassador for the daily mile and Ms. Valerie O’Brien. We thank Mr. Michael McCarthy Chairperson of our board of management, Fr. Danny Broderick, Ms. Gina Barron from our Parents Association, Councillors Michael O’Shea and John Francis Flynn who all represented our school and community.

We were honoured to be invited to relaunch the Daily Mile in Nagle Rice school. The Daily Mile is a social physical activity, with children running or jogging – at their own pace – in the fresh air with friends. Children can occasionally walk to catch their breath, if necessary, but should aim to run or jog for the full 15 minutes.

We want every child to have the opportunity to do The Daily Mile at primary school, and are now working to build The Daily Mile’s community in our school.

The Minister was welcomed by our wonderful musicians Michael O’Connor and Donnacha Leane. The Minister met with all the pupils and staff on our all weather pitch and we were blessed with the sunshine. We wish to thank both Ministers for their kind words and meaningful interaction with all staff and pupils. Finally we wish to thank and congratulate the pupils of Nagle Rice who were fantastic ambassadors of our school.
