Togher N.S. Closes for Summer – Wishing Everyone a Safe and Happy Break
Togher National School is now closed for the summer holidays. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our pupils, families, and staff a happy, safe, and enjoyable summer.
Before we finished up for the term, we completed a couple of important activities. Our GAA football squad were presented with their well-deserved medals following a fantastic Sciath na Scol performance — well done to all involved. The children also took part in a water safety webinar, learning vital tips for staying safe around water. This is especially important as many of our pupils look forward to water-based activities over the summer months.
Enjoy the holidays, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in the new school year.
Freshwater Stream Habitat
The children pulled on their wellies and set off to explore the local stream. We had so much fun discovering lots of fascinating Freshwater Mini Beasts living there. Some of the creatures we found included the Greater Water Boatman, Lesser Water Boatman, worms, freshwater snails, diving beetles, and larvae.
Stephanie from Heritage in Schools taught us all about the life cycles of these amazing creatures and explained why clean, unpolluted water is so important for them to live and grow. The children were amazed by how many wonderful creatures make their home in the stream. Best of all, we made sure to return them safely to the water before heading back to school.
Sports Day
The children had a wonderful time at our Togher N.S. Sports Day. The sun was shining, and the sound of happy laughter filled the air as everyone joined in the fun. There were so many exciting activities to enjoy — the obstacle course race, tug of war, relay race, mini games, and even volleyball. To make the day extra special, everyone was treated to delicious ice cream, kindly provided by our wonderful Parents’ Association. It was a fantastic day full of smiles, teamwork, and great memories.
Celebrating Excellent Attendance
This week, we were delighted to welcome Roger and Lisa from the School Completion Programme (S.C.P.) to our school. They visited to present Attendance Certificates and prizes to students who have shown outstanding commitment to coming to school regularly.
Good attendance is one of the most important steps towards success—in school and beyond. Being in school every day helps children stay on track with their learning, supports their wellbeing, and gives them the chance to take part in all aspects of school life. Regular attendance builds strong habits and is a key part of helping every child achieve their full potential.
Well done to all the students who received awards—keep up the great work.
Harvest Feast
After months of planting seeds, carefully watering, pulling weeds, and watching our garden grow, the time had finally come to harvest our vegetables. Once everything was gathered, it was time to transform our hard work into a well-earned feast. The roast potatoes came out perfectly—crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, with just the right touch of seasoning. Our colourful mixed salad was packed with fresh flavours, and for dessert, we enjoyed a cool and tasty fruit salad. This garden project has been a wonderful learning journey, teaching us all about science, healthy eating, teamwork, and responsibility. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this garden-to-table experience such a memorable and rewarding success.
Graduation Celebration
This evening we bid a fond farewell to our Sixth Class students during a memorable Graduation Celebration. It was a special evening filled with laughter, reflection, and a few happy tears as we looked back on their time at Togher N.S.
We couldn’t be prouder of these young men and women. As they take the next big step into secondary school, we know they’re well prepared and will thrive in whatever path they choose. Their futures are bright, and we’re excited to see all they will accomplish.
The night was packed with special moments—from touching memory speeches to an entertaining Fís Film, Graduation Gifts, Medal Presentations, and a nostalgic slideshow that reminded us all of how far they’ve come. The celebration was made even sweeter with a delicious spread of treats and cakes—huge thanks to the parents who contributed these.
We are very grateful to everyone who helped make the evening so special. While we’ll certainly miss our Sixth Class students, they will always be a part of the Togher N.S. family. Our doors will always be open for a visit.
Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to to all the amazing Dad’s in our school community.Thank you for all that you do—both seen and unseen. We hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and the appreciation you so richly deserve.
