Fleur’s Magical Moment

Walterstown is thrilled to be part of something magical! We are proud to work with My Canine Companion, Ireland’s national therapy dog charity . Our amazing therapy dog Fleur brings joy and comfort to our school every day.

This Christmas, My Canine Companion has partnered with The Everyman to promote their access performances of Cinderella, ensuring that everyone can experience the magic of the Panto.

Walterstown NS is delighted to support this wonderful initiative that champions inclusion and accessibility for all. Learn more about these special performances and where to buy tickets:

Bí Cineálta Pupil Policy

As part of our Bí Cineálta initiative our student council made a Pupil Policy to prevent bullying and spread kindess. It can be seen displayed around our school, reminding us all to be kind and to look out for one another at all times.

Our Wall Art

We are very lucky in Walterstown NS to have beautiful, colourful art decorating our outdoor spaces. Mr. Keogh and Ms. Lii – our “Artists in residence” – love decorating our walls with murals and paintings from story books.

Creative Schools Week 2025

The pupils in Walterstown National School had a fantastic time celebrating Creative Schools this week. We mostly focused on textile art – where fine art and craft collide! Weaving, knotting, beading and braiding (including hair!) were just some of the techniques we learned about. We built an outdoor tepee, made a tapestry from chicken wire, created crazy hairstyles and beautiful dream catchers for our new Sensory Garden.
