Scoil Barra Christmas Shoebox Appeal
Posted in All News, Home, Photo Album by teacher | Comments are offThere was a fantastic response once again to this year’s Christmas Shoebox appeal. The Scoil Barra pupils from Junior Infants to Sixth class donated over 250 boxes filled with simple Christmas gifts which will make their way to Eastern Europe in time for Christmas Day. The generous response from the Scoil Barra students was a refreshing one in the current economic climate. It is wonderful to think of the joy these shoeboxes will bring to children less fortunate than our own. The great news is that the true meaning of Christmas is not lost in Scoil Barra but still reigns supreme!

Jubilant Minor Footballers Return to Base Camp!
Posted in All News, Home, Sports News by teacher | Comments are offIn a county that has a proud history of G.A.A. success; it is little wonder that football and hurling have played such an important role in the life of Scoil Barra since its foundation in 1985. When Ballincollig G.A.A. Club won their first ever Premier Minor County Football Title recently when they beat Douglas on a score line of 1-15 to 0-13, Scoil Barra too had good reason to celebrate in this marvellous victory. Six of our past pupils played a crucial role in securing that elusive title. We celebrate the great sporting contribution of Jack Gibbons, Ryan Hogan, David Tobin, Eoin Mc Carthy, Cian Dorgan and Stephen Carroll to their club and to our town, Ballincollig. The victorious panel and their mentors visited Scoil Barra on November 10th to show off their silverware much to the absolute delight of their many young and enthusiastic fans. Comhghairdeas díbh uilig!
