Active School Week

 Active Week is next week! 

The children will need to bring in €10 for the week of activities. 

If anyone has tennis rackets and golf clubs the children can use, please bring them in with names on them. The children will also need to wear sun cream every day, and bring extra water. The children can wear the school tracksuits/shorts all week. 

Reminder that Sports Day is on Friday. 

We are extremely grateful to the coaches who are giving up their time to come to our school for Active Week!!!

Today we had two brilliant parents give up their free time to come in to our school. 

First up was Kickboxing/Karate Kenpo with Anna Zywot and coaches from Braveheart Martial Arts Academy, then we had soccer with Robert Westphal from Trim Celtic. 

Thanks so much for coming in, and for not charging us a penny for the excellent training sessions!

Congratulations Ella!

Over the Easter holidays, Ella Thompson competed in the Leinster Championships in Kilkenny.

She fought a very tough fight against a girl from Wexford which qualified her into the Leinster finals. Unfortunately she was unlucky in the finals and lost in a split decision. 

She is second overall in Leinster and got a lovely Leinster medal.
Well done Ella!
