Lockdown scuppered their 30th birthday celebrations in 2020 so instead one local school decided to mark the occasion in style last week.

All pupils and staff from Gaelscoil Faithleann Killarney gathered in the school hall where a beautiful cake was cut by youngest pupil Aurelia Ní Shúilleabháin and oldest Sophia Sharma.

All the kids came together in the hall for the first time in two years.

During the week the kids were treated to quizzes, art competitions and storytime as Gaeilge as the celebration coincided with Seachtain na Gaeilge.

"We were supposed to have the school's birthday two years ago on March 12," Deputy Principal Lisa Ní Iarlaithe told the Killarney Advertiser.

"We decided to celebrate on the 32 birthday and we incorporated Seachtain na Gaeilge into it too. We had a table quiz for the older kids and the younger kids.

"We had an art competition on seanfhocal from Second to Sixth Class and the prizes were Easons vouchers and Easter eggs."

The Junior Senior Infants and First classes were read a "Scéal as Gaeilge" and they had to draw their favourite part of the story with winners presented with prizes and their art hung on the school walls.

"Every child got a bun and dance teacher Triona Mangan did a Céilí with Junior Infants up to the second classes separately."
