Olympic Handball – Herbertstown NS Girls Qualify for National Finals

We had boys and girls teams representing the school at the Olympic Handball Limerick Finals in Croom on Wednesday. Well done to our boys who played in some terrific games and finished in third place. 

Our girls were crowned county champions after winning all their games and they will now go forward to represent Limerick at the National Olympic Handball Finals in either April or May.

Credit Union Quiz

Well done to our quiz teams who represented the school at the St Ailbe’s Credit Union Quiz in the Millennium Centre, Caherconlish on Monday night.

All teams scored very highly and the team members can be very proud of their efforts!

Scór na bPáistí

Well done to the school’s musicians, and their teacher Ms Barry, who are took time out of their weekends to represent the school at Scór na bPáistí in Askeaton on Saturday.  

The group performed the piece ‘Inis Oírr’ in the Instrumental Music section of the competition.

Chess

Well done to our chess team who represented the school at the Ficheall Tournament earlier today in Scoil Dean Cussen, Bruff.

The team had been taking time out of their lunch breaks in recent weeks to prepare and really enjoyed the experience in Bruff.

Walk on…Thursday

Bad weather had hampered a few attempts to complete WOW walks in December and earlier in January so we took the opportunity on Thursday to make the most of the lovely day.

It is always a nice experience for the boys and girls and a great way to support our efforts to renew our Active School Flag status.
