In February the Senior Room visited the Lifetime lab in Cork. They had great fun doing lots of investigations. We are working very hard towards our Discovery Primary Science Award.

  Hollymount was covered in a blanket of snow earlier this year. I think you’ll agree it looked stunning!

We held our Christmas Nativity Show on Wednesday 19th December 2012. We really enjoyed the show. We thank all of our Parents for their hard work with costumes, lines etc. We also thank our newly formed Parents Association for serving a fantastic tea afterwards. Here are some photos courtesy of Geraldine Dennehy (photographer).

We were very privileged to have a visit from some of our past pupils who won the County Championship with Knocknagree! Well done lads!

On November 27th we were visited by Sean Radley & Jack Roche who talked to us about: A day in the bog, Milking in the past and the ‘box iron’. We collected a number of wonderful artefacts prior to their visit.
