Today marked a special day in the history of Ovens N.S. as we bade farewell to Mrs Pauline O'Sullivan. We can't thank Mrs O'Sullivan enough for all the years of dedication and commitment she gave to our school. She is a fantastic teacher and colleague, and she played a key role in shaping the wonderful school we have today. All of us in Ovens N.S. wish her a very happy retirement and the very best of luck in her next chapter.

Our 6th Class students, along with their teachers, organised a fantastic sports day for the whole school yesterday. The children enjoyed a huge range of activities and thankfully, the weather played its part. Many thanks to Éire Óg as always for the use of their facilities.

Local Historian Neil O’ Mahony visited both 6th classes recently to discuss the huge depth of local history in the area. In a wide ranging and very interesting presentation, Neil spoke about the rich industrial heritage of the area, Art O’ Leary and Kilcrea Abbey, hedge schools, Kilumney Railway Station, Kilumney Dance Hall, the creamery, the old school building and many other topics. It was fascinating eye opener for the children to hear about our heritage and history of times past. (In the attached map, the current school is marked in red)

Both 5th classes enjoyed the glorious weather in Kilcrea Friary recently. Conor O’ Buachalla from The Heritage Council and Heritage in Schools gave a wonderful presentation on the abbey’s history and told some very interesting stories. He was ably assisted by Neil O’ Mahony who had some real gems of local history knowledge, recited some Latin and Irish poetry for us and the children were enchanted in this beautiful setting. “Ancora imparo”.
