St. Brigid's GNS was established by the Holy Faith Sisters in 1928 to cater for the educational needs of the children of Killester parish and the surrounding area. The school supports the principles of

"inclusiveness, equality of access and participation in the school and respect for
diversity of values, beliefs, traditions, languages
and ways of life in society"

We are committed to nurturing the Catholic faith through religious education, preparation for the sacraments and through the ethos of the school. The ethos is demonstrated through respect shown for each person in the school - pupils, members of staff, parents and visitors. We value our relationship with parents and the community and we are committed to working in partnership with all involved in the education process so as the best interests of each child are catered for.

The girls from 5th and 6th class took part in Feis Ceoil the choir competition on Tuesday 21st of March. The girls sing with Ms Wickham every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning and had been working very hard in the lead up to their first competition. The girls performed in two separate competitions - Sacred Music and Two Part. We were delighted to come second in the Two Part competition!

To all our amazing students, thank you for all your hard work over the past few weeks! We were gleaming with pride watching each and every one of you. You are incredible! 

A special thank you to our fabulous conductor Ms Wickham and our assisting teachers Ms O’Neill, Ms McGrane and Ms Barry. 

And lastly to all you parents who came to see us today, sent messages of support, or wished us luck on our way- THANK YOU! 

What an amazing day had by all! Is it too early to start practice for next year? 🎤 🎼

Seachtain na Gaeilge

We had lots of celebrations in St Brigids as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge.

On Tuesday the entire school were very lucky to have the opportunity to listen to some traditional music played by musicians. The girls enjoyed learning about the different instruments and how they work. As part of the workshop we also got to learn to some songs such as Molly Malone!

On Wednesday some of our classes enjoyed a visit from a storyteller. She brought an amazing array of handmade masks that she made to represent Irish folklore. Our students chose masks and had to embody the character they represented as our storyteller told the stories. 

On Friday, we hosted a very special Wake Up Shake Up in the school yard. We invited all parents to come and enjoy some ceol agus damhsa Gaelach. Our whole school had been practicing Ballaí Luimnigh, and we’re very excited to perform in a whole school céilí. 

To finish off our SNAG we hosted a céilí sa halla where all classes were invited to perform a song and a dance as Gaeilge. We were blown away by the talent! We also awarded some of our incredible students with cainetoir na seachtaine! 

Maith sibh!

Pancake Tuesday

The students in our Junior and Senior Infant classes celebrated Máirt na hInde on the 21st of February! The girls had lots of fun learning all about the history of the day and where the tradition of eating pancakes comes from. The girls engaged in different fine motor activities before enjoying some delicious pancakes prepared by their teachers. Yummy!
