The senior UNI- HOC  tournament took place today  with mixed teams from 3rd to 6th class.  Games were fast and exciting with some great play,   both defense and attack. Senior girls especially the two Clodaghs  really impressed with their skill and accuracy and made some great scores for their teams. The final was  hard fought between the Hurricanes  and The Wild Cats  and in the end The Wild Cats  were the winners. Well done Wild Cats and all teams for taking part.  Here are some match photos ….

Active Schools Week got off to a flying start today.  All classes are helping to run  a junior and senior marathon over three days. We are confident we can do this !  Power Hour for all classes  is from 1 – 2 pm  and expect to see very active pupils if you visit the school at this time.  The first of todays highlights was  the penalty shot competition. Mr. Mc Eneany  very sportingly went between the nets and showed spectacular goal keeping skills. Senior classes thought they stood a better chance of scoring with Mr. Mc Eneany doing the goal keeping instead of Mr. Shevlin. Did they get a shock ?? Mr. Mc Eneany saved ALL the sixth class shots ( including the  boys shots! ) Some extra talented juniors slipped a few shots past Mr. Mc Eneany and the girls showed they were up for the challenge too.  Teachers got  to shoot too . Ms. Lambe and  Ms. Corrigan placed great shots but Mr. Mc Eneany had their match and saved both. Mr. Shevlin put a  rocket of a shot just wide ( to Mr. Mc Eneany’s relief)  and it was left to Mrs. Quinn to land one in the back of the net. It was great fun  and everyone enjoyed the activity.  Here are some photos  of the action …….

Well done to all the boys who represented the school at the Cumann na mBunscoil 11 aside blitz in Phillipstown on Tuesday afternoon. The boys did not go through unfortunately but they certainly gave it their all and put in some fantastic performances, including a powerful victory over Dromin N.S. A special well done to some of the boys in 3rd class who made their debut for the school team and played very well. The team will hopefully be out one last time this year in a friendly match against our local rivals St. Colmcilles.

Well done boys.

On Monday the West Midlands Theatre  group  came for their annual visit  and put on a fabulous performance for the whole school. Everyone was in their seat at 9.30 ready for the show to begin. Some pupils were picked to help the Sorcerer and were up on stage . Jake made a brilliant apprentice.  The princess was very  funny as a green parrot ! Enjoy our photos , who can you spot helping out with the show ?
