Well done to everyone involved with the Cake Sale which raised over €1000.  Thanks to all those who baked and bought all the lovely buns, cakes etc.  Special thanks to our Parents’ Council who organised this very successful event.

Well done to the girls for winning their final match of the group against Kilcormac/Broughal on Monday October 9th.  The girls have played really well and are unlucky not to have reached the final.

Our new Green School Committee met today. One representative was chosen from each class to help gain another green flag. This year our theme is “Global Citizenship – Litter & Waste”.

Tough luck to the both the boys’ and girls’ teams who lost their matches against Cloneygowan today.  Both were very tight.  The girls were beaten by a point while the boys lost out by two points.  Good performances from both teams and unlucky not to win.  The boys play Cloghan in Geashill on Wednesday 4th October at 3.30pm.
