Craggagh National School is a school. It has been represented at the Summer Olympics and at the Enactus World Cup for social entrepreneurship.
Danny Charlton is principal.[1] Craggagh National School has taken part in many fundraising activities over the course of its history.
History[edit]
It is not clear from the sources when exactly the school was founded but it has been in existence since at least the twentieth century. A fatal road accident happened directly outside Craggagh National School in 1968.[2] It had to target a teacher loss in 2009, a move which was reported would have set Craggagh National School back.[3]
Craggagh National School sent a flag to Brazil for the 2016 Summer Olympics, which were held in Rio de Janeiro.[4] The flag was blue and red in colour with the red colour on the left side and the blue colour on the right side.[5] It was possible for the pupils (and others) to follow the flag as it made its way round during the Olympic Games.[4][5] The flag went to many places. It visited the famous spots such as Sugarloaf Mountain, the famous Christ the Redeemer statue and the Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro.[4][5] It was also possible to see the flag as it made its way round the Olympic Village.[4]
Fundraising[edit]
In 2015, Craggagh National School took part in a music extravaganza when hundreds were raised so that a perimeter fence could then be raised outside a school and an orphanage in Uganda, where it was hoped to prevent the children there from being taken away by wild animals and traffickers.[6]
In 2021, a pupil headed up the Enactus team that competed at the national level to win the coveted title of Enactus national champion, a first and therefore historic UL victory. [7] This meant the chance to represent the country at the Enactus World Cup which was held between 14 and 21 October of the same year.[7] Enactus supports young people who want to establish social enterprises to tackle social issues through social entrepreneurship at the local and the international level.[7]
In 2022, a pupil was named Undergraduate of the Year at the Undergraduate of the Year Awards and received this during a ceremony and reception held in the country's capital.[8] As part of the prize the British multinational company Diageo offered mentorship to the pupil concerned as she continued to pursue her studies.[8] She had been given two Gold UL President Volunteer Awards and also had four different experiences of being formally commended for the maintenance of high grades by the President over a prolonged period of time.[8]
Environment and facilities[edit]
There is a mountain nearby.[9] There is also a cemetery in the area.[10][11][12]
The playground at Craggagh National School was given to Craggagh National School as part of a donation.[13] Erratic driving has been a problem on the road outside.[14] In 2016, money was used to purchase ukeleles for Craggah National School.[1]
