School News

• Our 3rd, 5th and 6th classes completed a swimming course and they all received certificates.
• Also the boys u13 football team and the girls team are both in Eastern Finals to be held in Walsh Park soon. We wish good luck to both teams! The girls also won the local mini-7's and are in the Eastern Final for that too.
• Lately a drumming workshop was held in the school which went very well and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who supported our fund raising events throughout the year, it was thanks to proceeds from that fund raising which made the drumming workshop possible, so well done.





• We look forward to the upcoming Red Kettle Theatre Production for our children.

THE PLANNED SCHOOL CLOSURE FOR WEDNESDAY 16^TH MARCH HAS BEEN CHANGED

 

Green Flag Day of Action

 

As you will appreciate, it is difficult to schedule a day when, due to his busy timetable, Sean Kelly is available to lead our senior pupils on the short road-cycle, so as he is available on Wednesday 16^th March we have decided to proceed with that day as our "Green Flag Day of Action".  As previously planned the junior pupils and inexperienced cyclists will be led on a cycle within the school grounds.  All participating pupils will be required to have a bicycle and helmet in school on the day. Barry Meehan, owner of World Wide Cycles, Clonmel will also be available on the day to show the children how to maintain their bikes.

 

Due to the above changes the school will now be open on Wednesday 16^th March.
