First Ballinamore CS Darkness into Light a great success
We had such a truly memorable beginning for Darkness into Light Ballinamore. The community came together in their hundreds to walk, everyone walking for many different reasons. The wonderful sea of yellow leaving the school grounds, each carry a Candle of Hope, was incredible and emotional.

Thank you for remembering: There is Light in Darkness and Hope in Despair.

Cancer Awareness 2017
As part of the delivery of our RSE programme to TY and 5th students, we had two Cancer Awareness presentations.
Rachel Fitzgerald Feeley from Breast Cancer Ireland spoke to our female senior students.
Martin McHugh, past pupil, spoke to our male senior students about testicular cancer.
Both talks provided our students with: personal testimonies, factual information and the overall message of why it is so important to look after all aspects of our personal health.
Wellness Week 2017
This year our theme is “Random Acts of Kindness”. Our school tree contains each of our students commitments to do one act for another person. A little goes a long way. Among the many activities and events, students and staff did a walk around our school to highlight the benefits of a little exercise to our well-being and were given some orange segments for a vitamin C hit!

Ty students are currently receiving this life skills program from Aware. Helen Emmerson will facilitate the workshop for the next four weeks.
