Glenswilly N.S. has a very strong history of pupils engaging in The Creative Arts and this year us proving no different!
Over the years, they have enjoyed success at both county and national level in creative writing, art and singing.
They are also involved in the Creative Schools initiative.
This year is no exception with pupils finding solace in creativity throughout these challenging times. It’s all about enjoying the process and trying.
And all this while the school undergoes a massive refurbishment.
