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!!!

Many thanks!

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!
