A very short while ago Jim installed a nest box camera system in our school yard. This nest box attracts garden birds and enables us to capture any exciting activity inside the box. We were told not to expect any activity for at least a year because the nest was so new. However, we have been very lucky to see lots of activity and curiosity from two particular bluetits. We will be keeping you updated with videos and information about Blue Tits throughout the coming weeks.
Do you know.....?
- How many eggs a blue tit lays?
- What blue tits eat?
- What colour a blue tit is?
- How long it takes for an egg to hatch?
- When breeding season is?
Go to Sports and Activities to find the answers and to see Rosie's progress.

About Our School
Saint Brigid’s is a twenty teacher girls’ school under the patronage of the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin. The original school was founded in the nineteenth century by the sisters of the Holy Faith Congregation. The present school building, which was constructed in 1976, accommodates approximately 460 girls, from junior infants to sixth class, who come from Glasnevin and the surrounding areas. The two-storey school and its well-kept grounds, overlook Glasnevin Cemetery and the National Botanic Gardens.
The school’s mission statement prioritises the creation of a school climate of love, trust, respect and tolerance. It recognises the need for the cooperation and involvement of the whole school community in order to establish the school as a centre of excellence where all children are treated fairly and equally. The school provides a caring and supportive educational environment for families of all social, cultural and religious backgrounds where differences in values, beliefs and traditions are acknowledged and respected. The spirit of the school is encapsulated in the dedication, commitment and hard work of the pupils and staff.
