To mark the 30th Anniversary of our present School (opened 1980), we hope to put together a Souvenir Publication.

Former Staff, Past Pupils and Historians ......

Do you have (or do you know someone who might have) PHOTOS, or other MEMORABILIA, such as STORIES, be it a funny story about your days at St. Finbarr's or Success stories, or even newspaper articles that you collected relating to the school?

Where are you now?

An interactive whiteboard is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector. A projector projects the computer’s desktop onto the board’s surface, where users control the computer using a pen, finger or other device. The board is typically mounted to a wall or on a floor stand.
They are used in a variety of settings such as in classrooms at all levels of education, in corporate board rooms and work groups, in training rooms for professional sports coaching, broadcasting studios and more.

St. Finbarr's has been using interactive whiteboards since 2006 to enhance the learning experience for our pupils. Being able to project web pages on screen dramatically increases the amount of teaching resources we can offer pupils.

€10,000 for the school plus €10,000 for the nominated local charity i.e. CoAction West Cork.

There was great excitement at St. Finbarr's Boys' N.S.  on 26th May 2009 when representatives of Folens Ireland visited the school to formally present the top prize of €20,000 which the school won in the Folens Golden Anniversary Competition.
St. Finbarr's Boys' N.S. was chosen from hundreds of applicants nationwide for the coveted top prize.

To celebrate 50 years in business Folens Publishers held a nationwide competition inviting schools to outline how their school has worked with a local charity in the past or proposes to work with a nominated charity in the future.

As we at St. Finbarr's have had a long association with CoAction West Cork we decided to nominate them as our charity.

For some time now we have had a dream of creating an outdoor Adventure Play Area for boys and on hearing of the Folens competition it seemed an obvious choice to offer to share this facility with children from CoAction i.e. Saturday Morning Clubs and Summer Camps.

Last Wednesday saw the running of the much anticipated Cork City Sports at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

The Bantry Boys put in a star studded performance and the old saying “Molann an obair an fear” once again rang true. The 13 boys have worked diligently for the last 4 weeks and all their hard work bore fruit on Wednesday. The squad of 13 brought home a staggering total of 18 trophies including the Overall Trophy for the best performance of all Boys Schools in the county.

Congratulations to the teachers at St Finbarr’s, Mr B Gleeson, Mr P O’Meara and Ms G Lehane, who prepared the boys and also deserve credit for this success!
