Today we competed in the West Mayo Cross Country Championships and had a fantastic day. The children represented their school so well and did us all proud! The sun was shining in Ballyvary and all in all it was a great day out. Well done to everyone that competed and to our subs! We're already looking forward to next year! 😊😊

We were absolutely thrilled to get two special visitors to Derrywash yesterday. Benny and Marion Martin were the principal and teacher in Derrywash until 1991 and dedicated so many years to our school. Many of our parents, past pupils and even a few teachers (!) will have fond memories of their time in Derrywash. Many thanks to them for popping in for a visit and bringing us for an unexpected trip down memory lane!

Everyone here in the Junior & Senior Infant room are wishing all the best to the Mayo men and ladies lining out for their county this weekend and next weekend, Maigheo Abú!

Welcome back everyone! One of our first activities this year is to learn a poem to help us remember the counties in each province. Here it is so you can practice at home! -Mrs Fitzgerald :)
