All pupils have enjoyed taking part in Dance Class with fitness instructor Michelle Fanning every Friday for the last five weeks. Michelle taught us all sorts of cool moves. Fitness is fun!
Welcome To St. Aidan’s National School Bawnboy Co. Cavan

In St. Aidan’s we aim to provide a well-structured, caring and positive learning environment with plenty of fun and adventure along the way!
We hope our school is a welcoming place and we ask parents/guardians to communicate directly with us if they have any concerns or worries that need to be addressed. As a staff, we feel hugely supported by our parent body, who constantly work in partnership with us.
Our website will highlight the many events and activities taking place in our school. With a highly dedicated and creative staff the holistic development of our talented and committed pupils is always fostered.
St. Aidan’s N.S. has a very supportive parent body and our school prides itself on the team element of pupils, parents and staff working together.

I would like to take the opportunity to wish each of our students the very best for the year 23/24 ahead – there will inevitably be some bumps along the way but hopefully, with support, each child will overcome any challenges and have a happy and successful year in school.
Tá súil agam go mbainfidh sibh taitneamh as.

Love is in the Air, 10th February 2015

Love was in the air and we all gathered together to give thanks for the wonderful gift of love, the love of family, the love of friends and the love of God our Father. We were delighted that Fr. Phair and Sr. Anna, our Diocesan Religious Examiner could join us for this special service too. |

Halloween Ball, 24th October 2014
The boys and girls in Mrs Doherty’s classroom dressed up in their Halloween costumes and attended the Halloween Ball in Florence Court House today. They learned all about how the Florence Court servants would have celebrated Halloween and the end of the harvest, through art activities, story and dance. They also took part in an outdoor trail and discovered the seasonal changes that are taking place. Just before we returned to school the children enjoyed some time in the adventure play area. The new rope swing was a firm favourite with pupils and teacher! Everyone had a great time as you can see from the happy faces in these photos.
P.J. Dolan Visits, 20th October 2014
It was a huge pleasure for 2nd and 3rd Class when P.J. Dolan (Sarah and Brian O’Neill’s Granddad) called to tell the children all about Newgrange where he used to work. P.J. explained exactly how Neolithic men built the passage chamber in 3200 B.C. and all about the winter solstice. It was a very interesting talk.
Thank you P.J.
