Success for Our Lady’s in the Credit Union Art Competition

Congratulations to the talented students and their Art Teacher, Ms. Mc Ardle, on their remarkable success in the 2025 Castleblayney Credit Union Art Competition. This annual event offers a fantastic platform for young artists to express their creativity, and once again, our students have shone brightly. Principal Mr. Kelly praised all those involved, saying: “We are delighted to continue our strong partnership with our local Credit Union and to see such enthusiastic participation in this year’s competition. The standard of entries was outstanding, demonstrating the imagination, skill, and dedication of our students, supported so wonderfully by Ms. Mc Ardle. Our continued success in this competition reflects not only the exceptional artistic talent within our school but also our ongoing commitment to creativity and community engagement.
