Well done to all the pupils in second class who successfully completed an eight weeks swimming course in Strabane Leisure Centre during the summer.

An eight weeks Gaelic coaching programme took place and all classes from Junior Infants to Sixth Class took part in it.  Paddy Hegarty, former county player facilitated the training.
A very special thanks to Joe Porter, Dannie Gillespie and all at the Resource Centre for bringing the National League Cup to St Baithin’s recently.  There was great excitement at the school.  It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to get a close up view of this very valuable piece of silverware.
A very successful sports day was held at St Baithins and was blessed by beautiful sunny weather.  A special thank you to all the parents who came and gave great support to all the children during the day and to the parents who took part in the Parent’s Race.

The school was honoured to have Neil Gallagher, the Donegal Senior Football Team captain and local county player, Brendan Devenney, present at the schools recent Prize Giving Ceremony. A special thank you to both men for taking time out of their busy schedule to pay St Baithin’s National School a visit.  Their presence meant a lot to the children on the day.
The school would like to wish Ms Avril Gallagher every good wish as she returns to class teaching in September.  Ms Gallagher has worked extremely hard in her role as HSCL Coordinator over the last five years.  The new HSCL Coordinator   will be Ms Emer McLoone who takes up her post in September.
