Suaimhneas le Giulia Nic Eoin

Éirím gach lá, le ceisteanna i mo cheann

Cad a dhéanfaidh mé inniu,

An mbeidh dóchas ann?

Breathnaím amach an fhuinneog,

Cén aimsir atá an inniu?

An gcaithfidh mé m’éadaí nua,

Nó an mbeidh an ghrian ag dul a chodladh go luath?

Suím i mo sheomra ag freastail ar mo ranganna

An cheist ag dul trid m’intinn,

An mbeith seans agam dul thaobh amuigh ansin?

Bíonn gliondar croí orm,

Nuair a chríochnaím go luath,

Mar bíonn deis agam dul amach faoin tuath!

Éistim leis na héin,

Agus mé ag breathnú ar an spéir,

Is aoibhinn liom a bheith amuigh faoin aer!

Bíonn smaointí agam,

Cén fáth a bhfuil fonn orm an nádúr a fheiceáil?

B’fhéidir an fáth ná,

Go bhfuil gach rud casta,

Agus mothaíom suaimhneas,

I measc an chiúnais!

Note from Principal

We have completed 5 weeks of online teaching and learning.  It has been a challenging time for everyone, I commend you all.  You stayed engaged throughout, well done.

Our Leaving Certificate students will continue to prepare for the Leaving Certificate exams.  I applaud you all on your focus and motivation, we completely understand the frustrations linked with the lack of information and hear say.  Give yourselves a break from unnecessary newsfeeds, we will let you know specific updates as soon as they are clear.

We wish you all a good midterm break, stay well, and have a digital rest!
