Next week five pupils from sixth class will be heading to the Bloom festival to paint a mural in Trocaire's garden space.  The garden highlights Trocaire's land and resource rights work overseas in countries like Guatemala and Nicaragua. Artist Ciaran Brennan is creating a mural to reflect this and our pupils will assist him.

All of this work will go towards achieving the schools seventh green flag on the theme 'Global Citizenship and Energy'.

Well done to our Sixth class pupils who were finalists in the ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards 2017 in the Mansion House, Dublin. Their project 'There is HOPE if we ACT together' was nominated in the Super Junior category.

Over 650 young people from across Ireland and Northern Ireland were honored at the 18th annual awards ceremony. The event is Ireland's largest celebration of youth ECO-action and is held to recognise and reward the hard work of young people island-wide for their hard work protecting and conserving their local environment.

The public was invited to visit the Showcase from 10 am to 1 pm for a colourful exhibition where the young environmentalists will displayed their ECO-Action projects. 

Well done to the Senior Gaelic team on winning the Fingal League Final in Parnell Park on Thursday 18th of May. 

The game was played in glorious sunshine and was a fantastic contest between two very good teams. In the end Scoil Moibhi Milverton came out on top. Well done to our local neighbours Corduff on a terrific performance.

The team and their parents then headed back to The Hills Cricket Club for pizza to celebrate. Thanks to our friends in The Hills for accommodating us.

This was the schools first senior title since 2003 when Luke Clinton captained the team. Luke's nephew Jacob was the goalkeeper on Thursday's team.

Best of luck to our Senior Gaelic team this Thursday 18th May in Parnell Park.  They play Corduff National school with throw in at 11am.  All support is very welcome.

Well done to the Junior Gaelic team on making it to the final in Parnell Park on Thursday 1st June.  They will play the winner of Ballyboughal or Loughshinny.

Our thanks to 'Friends of Autism and ADHD' for presenting us with a 'Buddy Bench' for the school. The bench is the work of the men's shed in Balbriggan and we thank them for this fantastic new addition to the school.
