and Digital Schools of Distinction

​Awards 2017
Picture
On Tuesday June 27th we celebrated two 


fantastic achievements, our first Green Flag and


 the Digital Schools’ of Distinction award with a


 flag raising ceremony.

​The ceremony opened with a Green School song

composed especially for the day by the children 



of the school. 


Following on from this Ms. Kennelly welcomed

everyone – parents, children, staff, Board of

Management and our special guests Rose



Kinehan, former principal of the school and


 Gerard McHugh chairperson of the Digital 


Schools of Distinction Award  and Director of 


Dublin West Education centre and Fiona 

Thomas assessor with the Digital Schools



 of Distinction award.

Helen Arnold, our chairperson spoke about how

wonderfully confident and competent the



Children are with I.T. in our school. Children 


from every class spoke about how I.T. enhances 


their everyday school life and what it means to 


them to be part of a Digital School of  


Distinction. 


They told us about coding with Scratch,

using online sites such as ixl.ie researching 



projects and lots more.


Following on from this Gerard McHugh, who had

travelled all the way from Dublin to be with us on 



the day, spoke about the Digital Schools of 


Distinction Programme and we learned that 


Bishop O’Brien N.S. is in the first four hundred


Schools in the country to achieve the award.


 Gerard McHugh then proceeded to

raise the Digital Schools of Distinction flag with 



the oldest child in the school C. Kingston.


Next we turned our attention to our first Green 


Flag!

Children from the Green School Committee spoke



about our two year campaign to achieve the flag


The whole school then proceeded to perform our


 Green School code in a rap using body 


percussion.


Ms. O’Sullivan proceeded to raise the Green 


School Flag with the youngest child in the school 


T. Hegarty

Following a great big cheer, the children closed



 the ceremony with their Green School Song

The children were treated to ice-creams after the

ceremony! It was a wonderful occasion for our whole

school community.



Below are some photographs from the day taken 


by the wonderful Una Finn.
