🦎✨ A Newt-eworthy Discovery at St Malachy's! ✨🦎
Today was amphibiously awesome! 🐾 We spotted a little visitor in the school grounds — a newt who clearly wanted to join our class! 🏫
We’re calling him Sir Isaac Newt-on — because he’s got gravity-defying charm! 😄
This slippery scholar was found in the bus line just before home time🐸🌿

📚✨ Celebrating John Montague at St Malachy's Glencull ✨📚
Members of the Ballygawley History Society gathered at Glencull Primary School for a special presentation on the life and legacy of poet John Montague. Pictured are Principal Mr. Gormley with poet Jim McElroy—winner of the 2021 Seamus Heaney Award and 2020 Francis Ledwidge Poetry Award—and Andrew Montague, nephew of the late poet.
John Montague, one of Ireland’s most influential literary voices, attended Glencull PS as a child. His poetry explored themes of exile, memory, and belonging. He also played a key role in founding Claddagh Records, helping to launch The Chieftains and supporting artists like Seán Ó Riada, Leo Rowsome, Dolores Keane, Christy Moore, and Mary Black—bringing Irish poetry and music to global audiences.
On the night, copies of John Montague: A Poet’s Life by Adrian Frazier—published by Lilliput Press—were available for purchase, offering a rich insight into Montague’s remarkable journey from Tyrone to the world stage.
Andrew presented St Malachy's with a photograph of John taken by famed Irish photographer John Minihan.
A poet of place and passion, Montague’s legacy continues to inspire. 🌿🎶📖
