Thomastown Castle Field Trip

21/5/2025

 
The senior pupils in the school were delighted to receive a visit from the Thomastown Heritage Group recently. Two members of the group, Martina O’Keeffe (our former principal) and Eddie Fitzgerald, made a very detailed presentation on the history surrounding Thomastown Village and Thomastown Castle. When the presentation concluded, we then set off on a field trip to Thomastown Castle where we received a guided tour of the ruins from Mary Alice O’Connor and we learned all about the history of the castle and the surrounding area.

On our return to the village, we attended the unveiling of a commemorative plaque which celebrates the importance of many sites in and around the village. The plaque was unveiled by two of Thomastown’s most celebrated residents, Essie O’Connell and Mary Crosse.

We extend a huge thank you to the Thomastown Heritage Group (Cliodhna Hanley, Eddie Fitzgerald, Agnes Ryan, Mary Alice O’Connor, Martina O’Keeffe, Robert O’Keeffe and Joe Lonergan) who provided us with such a wonderful and unique opportunity to discover more about our local area. It was fascinating to learn about so much local history right on our own doorstep. We also want to extend our thanks to the group who provided us with some very welcome refreshments during our field trip to Thomastown Castle.

Godolphin Ireland Victor Stud Visit

3/7/2024

 
6th Class were delighted to visit Victor Stud prior to the summer holidays following an invitation received from Godolphin Ireland. The stud farm is only a short walk from the school so we donned our hi-vis jackets and headed off. Thank you to Paddy, Colette, Mick and John from Godolphin Ireland who showed us around the farm and explained to us the work involved in running and maintaining such a busy farm. They explained how to measure and weigh a horse as well as the importance of good grooming, healthcare and feeding. We learned about micro-chipping, examined a horse passport and we also saw the horse weigh bridge in action along with the machinery in use each day on the farm. At the end of our visit, Paddy very kindly gave each of the pupils a goodie bag to go with the information book we received at the beginning of our visit. On our way back to the school, we were delighted to receive more refreshments courtesy of our past pupil, Sophie O'Toole, at Thomastown Cross!

​Thank you to everyone at Victor Stud along with Sophie who helped to make it such a memorable and enjoyable day out.
