Our Trip to Coole Park
07 November 2023
In October we went to Coole Park Visitor Centre. We had lunch and then went for a walk. We learnt about hedgehogs and other animals that live in the park. We then did a scavenger hunt and a nature trail all around Coole Park. We played soccer and then packed our bags. We went back to school on the bus. We had the most amazing day.

walk well through the rest of their education and life.
Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a vibrant and multicultural community which
embraces all creeds, religions and backgrounds while promoting our Catholic
ethos.
We promote an appreciation and love of Irish culture and language
while also forging a knowledge of and respect for other cultures within our
school. Our school motto is “Amor Vincit Omnia” which translates to ‘Love
conquers all’. We aspire to holding this motto as part of our daily
interactions and teachings.
