Welcome to Scoil Barra!

Mr. Murphy & Miss O’ Connell travelled with their classes to Ballyhass Lakes for a full-filled, action-packed tour! Everyone enjoyed the sunshine & took part in 4 activities including kayaking, bouldering, low ropes & the dreaded LEAP OF FAITH!

Miss O’ Connell’s 5th Class enjoyed a trip to the Farmer’s Market on Wednesday last. Everyone enjoyed buying freshly baked cookies and cupcakes! We chatted to the sellers, took some photos & even tasted Cork’s HOTTEST chilli sauce!!

Tag rugby was the sport of the day on Thursday the 27th of May with 5th and 6th class competing in our school blitz.

Team F from Mister Leen’s class were the winners on the day.

Team J from Miss O’ Connell’s class took the Fair Play award for their class.
