Harry gave tremendous service to Gaelic Games in the school in the past through coaching and assisting in the fielding of teams in Cumann na mBunscol competitions. Harry was also the point of contact for the school in reporting results to the local papers. More recently, Harry helped the school complete a record of participation by the school in south & county competitions in Gaelic Games going back to the 1970s. An array of resources and journals were consulted to create this extensive record and Harry was very generous with his time in facilitating this research.
Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís.
These pupils now go forward to the next round on Saturday February 24th in Cappamore Community Centre at 10am.

The Credit Union Quiz took place on the 29th of January. Our school entered four team: two U11 and two U13. At the quiz competition was very tight with our U11 teams placing fourth and sixth. The competition was very tight between our U13s as there was one point separating them in the final score. Both teams did well as one was in a three way tie for second and the other ending up third. There were 11 U11 teams competing and 26 U13 teams.
Overall, all our teams performed really well.

On the 9th of January Mrs.Heelan told us that she was going to enter us into an Analogue Devices, Learn-it LEGO robotics class .There were only 30 available spaces through out the whole of Limerick and the lines opened at 10 o’clock with a first come, first served system so we had to be quick. We were one of the lucky schools to successfully apply.
On the 25th of January two people called Fergal and Marvee came to our school to show us how to build and program robots which were made of LEGO. At the start Mrs.Heelan put us all into groups of 3.Then we were set to build our robots with a manual on the computer screen. When we were all done building our robots Fergal showed us how to program our robots to go forwards and backwards. the he set us a series of challenges. Then he showed us how to turn and rotate the robot. After that he put down a maze mat and we had to program our robots to go around the maze mat. It was quite difficult!! Team 9 got the furthest on the maze and then we had to say goodbye and dismantle our robots. Now it was time for Fergal to announce the winner which was … team 7! (Jack,Ella and Eva ) with an extra edition of Ava O’Connell. We had a great day
