Rahan National School

Welcome to our website for Rahan National School.  Fáile go suíomh idirlín Scoil Náisiúnta Rathain.  For regular updates relating to the school please check out our FB page and/or come back here on a regular basis.

 We hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine. Well done to all the children on all their hard work over the last few weeks. We realise that it's not easy doing school work at home on your own.

 Don't forget to tune into RTÉ every morning for the new School on TV. It should be interesting - and watch out for a familiar face!!! 

This is Biodiversity Week and every evening at 5.00 pm Living Earth TV is hosting virtual tours.  This is a very interesting website and well worth a visit.

The Crawford Art Gallery may be closed to the public at the moment but there are lots of interesting ideas for children and families here.

The National Gallery of Ireland hosts virtual tours and has some facinating ideas for activities for children and families here.
