Our swift nesting boxes can now be viewed on screen in the school hallway! Thanks to Lynda and Chris Huxley of Swift Conservation Mayo and Mayo County Council’s Local Agenda 21 grant funding who provided the swift boxes, cameras, speakers and cables, and to Ronan Moran and Moran Electrical who did all the trunking and electrical work, the children will be able to view any swifts or other birds who choose to nest in these custom nesting boxes The swift population in Ireland has declined by over 40% in the past 10 years alone, so the work being done in Mayo to encourage nesting and breeding is vital for the conservation of the species. Newport National School is delighted to play its part in

Thanks to Deirdre Burke and Trevor O'Connell and the rest of the Mayo Stages Rally team who visited the children of 4th 5th and 6th classes on Friday morning. The children were treated to a presentation about the rally which will take place in Achill. They learned all about the differences between road driving and rally driving and got to see real rally cars. Road Safety was the main message and the children now have the chance to enter a drawing competition.

The school has had a defibrillator in the building for a number of years now, and staff have been trained in its use. We have recently purchased an outdoor storage cabinet for it, with help from John Quinn of Newport Red Cross who sourced the correct specification for us. The cabinet and defibrillator are now located on the wall outside the new ASD classrooms (i.e. the OLD school hall), situated close to the GAP / Greenway Activity Park (Astroturf pitch & MUGA) We hope the defibrillator is never needed, but if it IS required, and anyone needs to access it, the code is 1 1 1 1 followed by the green ENTER key, then pull the clear cover down by grabbing the sides 1 1 1 1 <ENTER> then pull by
