Last Friday we had our Junior Entrepreneur Showcase Day. It was a very successful day and the 5th class boys got to show all the wonderful work they have put in the last few months. The boys who ordered a TEEE Bag collected them on the day. The Junior Entrepreneur Flag was also raised at the end of the day.

Congratulations to James Costello who defeated his brother Conor in the final of the 5th class Christmas Draughts Competition. This knock out competition saw all 30 boys compete for the top prize. After a few tough qualifying rounds the Costelllo twins made their way to the final which was a tense affair. In the end James prevailed using a very clever move to fianlly see off Conor. Well done boys!

Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a vibrant and multicultural community which embraces all creeds, religions and backgrounds while promoting our Catholic ethos.
We promote an appreciation and love of Irish culture and language while also forging a knowledge of and respect for other cultures within our school.
