SCOIL SAN PHROINSIAS






Welcome to the homepage for all the websites in Scoil San Phroinsias. At the side of this page you will find the addresses of all the websites we will be using from now on.
I am hoping that all classes will post some very entertaining additions to their class blogs during the month of February, 2007. During this month we wish to award a prize for the overall best class web blog of the school. In addition to this overall prize, there will be individual class prizes for the best class in each section.
Good luck everybody. I look forward to reading your posts over the coming month of February.



Please feel free to visit these sites over the next year as we begin to publish our stories, poems and news. Recently two pupils from the school were on Radio 1 discussing Terryland National Park. Congratulations to these fine representatives, who did the school proud.

Preparations are already under way for this year's Saint Patrick's Day Parade, with our School band rehearsing assiduously for the forthcoming big day.
It would be terrific to recapture the first prize trophy once again, even though we have won first place in the Galway Parade on four occasions previously.

Prizes for the best class blogs will be presented at the end of February 2007. I hope that your class managed to add some interesting stories, poems, jokes or other pieces of writing to your class blog during February, as I would just love to have to give every class a special prize for their efforts.

There will also be a second blog competition in June 2007. So if you have not managed to win a prize with your class this time, there is another chance for you to do so in June! However, you must work hard to make sure your class blog is an interesting one.

Beir bua agus beannacht!

Priomhoide na scoile.
