Local legend Billy Coleman ventured to Donegal for a once in a lifetime gathering of the greatest drivers in Irish history. These GOATS (greatest of all time) took on two of the classic stages as part of the celebrations for the 50th Anniversary running of the Joule Donegal International Rally Ireland. Billy has won the event a whopping four times; ‘77, ‘84, ‘85, ‘86 and he joined the other legends in his Porsche Carrera 911.

Delighted to be awarded the Blue Star Programme flag! This was a wonderful programme to be involved in as it integrated so well into our SESE Curriculum. We loved learning about Europe, taking part in European day, having our Italian Day, Zoom with the European Commissioner and the really fun quiz at the end of the programme. This is the third Flag the school has been awarded this year for different initiatives. Well done to pupils & staff for all their work in achieving this. The various programmes allow our learning to go far beyond the classroom.

Well done to the Meelin N.S pupils who have raised money for three incredible causes!
