Thanks to Mr. Keogh and Ms. Fleming who prepared a delicious feast for all staff in return for a donation to My Canine Companion. We raised €400 for the wonderful charity that brought us our Fleur.

Congratulations to the boys and girls from 5th and 6th Class who made it to the National Volleyball Finals in UL!

This year’s 5th Class are taking part in the Junior Entrepreneur Project. They are making customised croc charms. They would like to say a big thank you to Cobh Credit Union for sponsoring their business.

Congratulations to our newly appointed Active Committee. We are renewing our Active Flag this year. This will be our 3rd Active Flag. We are focusing on the 4 fundamental movement skills – running, throwing, dodging and striking with the hand.

Walterstown NS wants to say the biggest thank you to one of our wonderful parents David Lambe who recently completed an Ironman in Portugal and raised €5675 for Le Chéile (our 3 autism classes). Le Chéile is a very special part of our school and we are so lucky to have such amazing support from our school community. Ar Aghaidh Le Chéile – Moving Forward Together.

Huge congratulations to our girls’ football team who won their final against Bartlemy in Páirc Uí Chaoimh! What an amazing achievement! Walterstown Abú!

Introducing the newest member of staff in Walterstown NS! We welcomed Fleur to school on Monday morning. Fleur is a service dog from My Canine Companion. My Canine Companion is Ireland’s largest service dog provider and Fleur is a school therapy dog. MCC developed Ireland’s first school therapy dog programme. Schools have reported a significant improvement in areas of wellbeing, mental health, anxiety, absenteeism and staff and student morale since the introduction of a MCC school therapy dog. We have no doubt that Fleur will bring so much love and support to our wonderful school.
