The objective of St. Ninnidh’s Parent Fundraising Group (PFG) is to raise money for improving the school both through increased community relations and improving buildings and resources. All parents/ guardians of pupils currently attending St. Ninnidh’s primary school are members of the PFG.
St Ninnidh’s PFG sincerely thanks all parents/ guardians, families, teachers, staff and the wider community who so generously gave their time, talents and good will to our events over the past academic year. The PFG wishes to express our gratitude to Principal, Mr. Kenny Kerins, who worked tirelessly throughout the year.
We are very proud of our school and the enormous efforts of those who go above and beyond in supporting PFG events for the enrichment of our children's educational journeys.

SCHOOL GROUNDS DEVELOPMENT
This has been a very special academic year as it marks the
beginning of the MUGA ground development. To bridge the gap
in funding Mr Kerins, the school staff and BOG worked
relentlessly hard along with the parents and businesses in
the area to secure the funds for the 55m x 35m pitch and
Prunty Pitches were appointed as the contractor.
It was particularly memorable to have Jarlath Burns,
President of the GAA to ceremonially turn the first sod in
June! As work continues on the Pitch, the PFG would like to
sincerely thank Damian Maguire for the vast amount of work
and time that he dedicated to the task from the beginning
of the project!
It has also been a very busy year with planting of native
trees and hedging. Many thanks to all of the volunteers who
helped with planting.
With the improvements to the front yard from last year, the
near completion of the MUGA pitch, along with the beautiful
planting and shrubbery this year I would say the future is
very bright for St. Ninnidh’s Primary School.
