Well done to our boys’ hurling team who played Tubber and Pullough in a Cumann na mBunscol hurling blitz on Friday May 8th. We lost out to Tubber in the first game and then had a fine win against Pullough.  We now play Cloneygowan in the semi-final next week.

We kicked off Active and Wellbeing Week with a variety of activities throughout the school. There was gardening and active ISL lessons including playground games and rounders. The week continued with more activities including some very relaxing sound therapy,  pilates, dance and hurling.

In preparation for the Fiddle Fiesta, which takes place in May, over 60 of our pupils from 3rd to 6th Classes travelled to Scoil Bhríde, Edenderry for a joint practice with three other schools. Lots of fun and lovely music was the order of the day. Thanks to everyone involved with Music Generation for organising everything.

Thanks to our Parents’ Council for organising another very successful tractor run.  Thanks also to everyone who took part and supported it in any way. It was another very enjoyable community event. To date, just over €7000 has been raised for the school.

We celebrated Grandparents’ Day on Tuesday 24th March. Grandparents, parents and other important people in the lives of our pupils visited our classes for an afternoon of fun, music, board games and much more besides.

There was great excitement on Thursday 19th March as all classes took part in a mini tractor run, in preparation for our Parents’ Council big fundraiser later in the month.

Thanks to everyone who returned sponsorship cards and for the usual great support.

Well done to both our teams who competed in the FAI 5-a-side competition in Tullamore.  Our girls played four games, winning two and losing two. They came third in the group.

Our boys topped their group, winning all three of their games. In the final they narrowly lost out in a penalty shootout following a thrilling match.

Bhain an scoil go léir taitneamh as an Lá Glas inniu, le haghaidh Seachtain na Gaeilge. Bhí rince Gaelach, amhráin, ceoil agus craic againn i rith an lae. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh go léir.

Congratulations to our 6th Class pupils who celebrated their Confirmation on Friday 13th March. Well done to our pupils who sang in the choir alongside their counterparts from Ballinagar NS.
