Student Council Election Day 2024
Wednesday was an historic day in Fossa NS as the children went to the polls to cast their ballots and elect their student council representatives.
After days of serious campaigning and canvassing, the candidates put their manifestos to the class. The candidate speeches were outstanding and the voters had some very tough decisions to make.
Congratulations to our two 6th councillors Doireann O Connor and Noah Keogh, who were elected on the first count.
We are really looking forward to an exciting term in office for our new student council.

SN An Fhosaidh 3-09 Firies NS 1-05
Our boys got their CNMB campaign off to the perfect start in a sun drenched Fossa GAA club today.
We defeated a tough and dogged Firies team with a positive, spirited and energetic display of football. The boys were solid all over the páirc from Noah O Sullivan sa cúl right up the pitch. The work rate, team work, skill and desire from each boy wearing the red and black was a joy to see.
While it’s great to start off the group with a win, more challenges lie ahead so it’s back to the training field next Tuesday to build on the positive start.
