Samhain Parade 2025: Celebrating “The Spirits of Nature and the Elements”

A huge well done to our talented students who represented the school in this year’s Samhain Parade. Their chosen theme, “The Spirits of Nature and the Elements,” showcased exceptional creativity, dedication, and artistic expression as they brought vibrant colour and atmosphere to the streets of Clonakilty.

Samhain marks the ancient Celtic festival that signifies the end of the harvest season and the transition into a new year — a moment to reflect on nature, changing seasons, and the traditions that connect us to our heritage.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who supported our students on the night, despite the challenging weather conditions. Your encouragement and presence helped make the event a memorable celebration for all involved.

Also a huge thank you to Ms. O’Connell for her guidance and support in the creation of these remarkable pieces.
