This week the children started modern dance lessons with Aideen Johnson, and the energy has been incredible from the very first step. From expressive movement to building confidence and creativity, the children are already embracing the joy of dance in a fresh and inspiring way. We can’t wait to see how this journey unfolds over the coming weeks—keep an eye out for more updates as these talented dancers grow, move, and shine.
The Stories on the Street project will transform Dunmanway and its surrounding areas into a vibrant open-air museum, celebrating local heritage through storytelling and art.
As part of this exciting initiative, the Senior Room at Togher N.S. are proud to play their part by developing engaging and interactive content that brings the history of Togher Castle and the Ballabuidhe Horse Fair and Races to life.
We were delighted to welcome local historian Michelle O’Mahony, along with Patrick Kielty from Flux Learning, who worked with the children to record their work.
A wonderful opportunity for our pupils to explore, share, and celebrate the rich heritage of our community.
The children from Togher N.S. had a wonderful time celebrating their Confirmation Day. It was a wonderful occasion, and they were delighted to share it with children from the other schools. The celebrations continued on Friday with a delicious cake, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Bishop Fintan, Fr. Pat, Fr. Liam, and musician Kevin McCarthy for helping to make the ceremony so meaningful and memorable for all involved.
Congratulations to our wonderful children who received their First Confession on March 19th at St. James Church, Togher.
Over the past few weeks, our classrooms were busy with newspaper, glue, and plenty of creativity as we continued our long-standing tradition of crafting papier mâché figures. This year’s star creation? Our fantastic snake’s head. From building the shape to painting on all the colourful details, everyone played their part.
Recently, the wonderful all-weather pitch at Drinagh Rangers played host to a FAI Primary Schools 5-a-Side Soccer Competition. 16 schools from across West Cork came together for what proved to be a fantastic day of football, fun and great sportsmanship.
Togher N.S. were magnificent throughout the competition and produced some excellent performances to reach the final. After progressing through the rounds, they faced The Model School, Dunmanway in what turned out to be a very exciting and closely contested final.
At the end of normal time the teams were level at 1–1 and the match went to extra time. Both sides battled bravely and gave it their all, but it was The Model School, Dunmanway who managed to score a late goal to secure the victory.
While the result was disappointing for Togher N.S., the children can be extremely proud of their fantastic performances throughout the tournament. Both teams displayed great skill and sportsmanship and represented their schools superbly.
Most importantly, the children had a wonderful day and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone involved in organising the tournament.
Well done to all the schools who participated and congratulations to The Model School on their victory.
The children have started the Cycle Sense cycling course.
This Cycle Skills and Safety Training programme combines both practical and theory-based learning, helping pupils understand what it takes to stay safe on the road.
Over the coming weeks, they’ll explore road safety, build their cycling knowledge, and develop essential practical skills. To bring their learning to life, the children will also be putting these skills into practice right here in the school yard.
We’re excited to watch their confidence and independence grow as they pedal their way through the programme.
Today, the whole school enjoyed a wonderful pancake treat! Everyone was served freshly made pancakes with a variety of tasty toppings to choose from, including sugar, lemon, blueberries, and strawberries.
A big thank you to Lisa from the S.C.P. for all her help in making this happen. The pancakes were absolutely delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by all!
