SCOIL Naomh Dúigh in Annagry is set to make history as Ireland’s official entry in this year’s Schoolovision, the European song contest for primary schools inspired by the Eurovision Song Contest.
Fourth-class pupils from the school will showcase their entry, “Ag Ceol Anocht,” a song written by their music tutor, Paula Ní Dhuibhir, with support from class teacher Ciara Mhic Fhionnghaile.
The song draws inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of the area, celebrating local artists, musicians, stunning landscapes and longstanding traditions.
To bring the song to life, the students collaborated with several creative partners, including Leanne McLaughlin from Creative Schools, Brídín Carr for backing music, Tommy Conway and Joseph Gibson from Full Tilt Recording Studios, and Shaun Doogan and Ciarán McCann from Re-act Video Productions.
The results of the competition will be announced during a live video conference on Friday, May 15.

The school is encouraging supporters to cheer on the young musicians by leaving comments under their entry on the Schoolovision 2026 website.
Principal Síle Uí Bhiataigh described the song as “a celebration of our school, our community and our county. It reflects our love for the Irish language, for music, for sport and for the heritage that shapes us.
“Above all, Ag Ceol Anocht carries a message for young people everywhere: to stand tall, to take pride in who you are, and to celebrate your individuality and uniqueness”.
