Catholic Schools Week 2024!
Grandparents Day!
All of us in Ballyadams N.S delighted in welcoming Grandparents to our school during Catholic Schools Week as we celebrated the theme of 'Communities Of Service'. It was a very special and memorable day for all. Grandparents were welcomed and escorted to classrooms by our Student Council and there was a medley of song and story in each classroom followed by a lovely cup of tea and treats for all Grandparents. A special Table Of Remembrance was set up in our PE Halla where children added pictures, tokens and momentos of their Grandparents and we celebrated all who were with us in spirit. Have a look at some of the images of Grandparents Day 2024 below!

Halloween Parade October 2019
On Friday the 25th October our boys and girls embraced the Halloween spirit and came to school in a variety of colorful and bone chillingly creative costumes. Due to the heavy rain we were compelled to adapt our Halloween plans. While the Halloween walk did not take place our ghouls, goblins, princesses, fortune tellers, skeletons and multitude of Halloween characters would not be deterred. We hosted a memorable Halloween Parade in Ballyadams N.S. The children marched in all their Halloween finery around our PE Hall where they were warmly received and applauded by parents and visitors on the day. Special word of thanks to all families and children for seizing the Halloween spirit and making the Parade so memorable for the children. Thanks to our Parents Council for providing refreshments and treats to all on the day.
