Faha National School & Autism Friendly Killarney

We are incredibly proud that Faha National School is now part of Autism Friendly Killarney.

Over the past two years, through the AsIAm Autism Friendly Schools Project, we have been on an incredible journey of learning, understanding and positive change. We are now eagerly awaiting Year 3 and look forward to continuing to build on everything we have achieved.

We are proud of the physical changes within our school from our Autism Class and Sensory Room, to our Peaceful Place and improved Movement Group equipment. But, for us, the greatest changes are those that cannot always be seen.

We have developed a greater understanding of autism, communication, sensory needs and inclusion. We have created a school atmosphere where differences are celebrated, children are listened to and every child is supported to feel that they truly belong.

We are incredibly proud of how our whole school community has embraced this journey.

A huge thank you to Autism Friendly Killarney for welcoming us and AsIAm for the support, guidance, learning and encouragement they have given us. Their work is helping schools and communities understand that being autism friendly is not simply about making changes, it is about creating acceptance, understanding and belonging.

We are proud of how far we have come, excited about where we are going, and delighted to be part of the Autism Friendly Killarney community.

Well done to our football team in the Cumann na mBunscol blitz. The team gave it their all, showing great effort, teamwork and determination throughout the blitz.

Although we didn’t progress to the next stage, every player should be so proud of their efforts and how they represented our school. 👏

⚽️ Cumann na mBunscoil Blitz ⚽️

A huge well done to our 5th and 6th Class boys and girls who took part in the Cumann na mBunscoil blitz today!

The team faced Listellick, O’Brennan and Gaelscoil Castleisland and gave a good account of themselves. There was some lovely football played, great teamwork and plenty of determination as everyone got stuck in.

Despite the very wet and miserable weather, the team battled on and finished 2nd place on the day!

They will now progress to another blitz next week, so we wish them the very best of luck. Hopefully we’ll get a little better weather next time! ☀️🤞

Maths this week! 🌟
Our Senior Infants have been working very hard in Maths this week learning about combining and partitioning numbers. We have been exploring how numbers can be put together and split apart in different ways, using practical activities, games and lots of hands-on learning.
