Students lead the way in designing new school crest for south Mayo National School

The 2024–2025 Student Council at Cross National School worked closely with pupils, families and staff to design a brand-new school crest that reflects the heart of their school. Together, the students shared ideas around friendship, respect, inclusion, a love of music and sport, and pride in their local community.

All children and families were invited to contribute ideas, and the Student Council carefully reviewed each one, identifying common themes that best represented life in Cross N.S. These ideas were shared with a design company, who created crest designs inspired by the students’ vision.

The current Sixth Class pupils are the first to proudly wear the new crest on their Sixth Class hoodies. The school hopes it reflects its long-standing traditions and values, while also having a modern feel that carries the school into the future.
