New Sports Equipment!
Active School status is helped by our Active pupils.
The school have just purchased a wide variety of new sports equipment thanks to the funds generated by our pupils who participated in the UL Sport Kids Run for Fun. The equipment is varied and caters for many sports and physical activities. The new gear will benefit every pupil in the school from youngest to oldest. Thanks again to everyone that participated in April and made this purchase possible.
FAI Coaching
FAI Development Officer Barry McGann is currently coaching our pupils on Friday mornings.
The sessions are being thoroughly enjoyed by pupils from juniors to 6th class. They will serve as a great boost to interest in soccer in the school. In the coming weeks our pupils will take part in the Primary Futsal tournament in Cappamore. In the last term, our senior pupils will participate in the SPAR FAI Primary School 5s.
Senior Infants and First Class take a trip down memory lane
The children in Miss Davis’s class brought in toys from their childhood, as they shared stories about growing up.
INTO Football Mini Sevens
Our pupils may only be back a short few weeks but they have been busy on the football field already. There has been some great attendances at both boys and girls after school training sessions.
On Monday our girls team travelled to Martinstown to compete in the South INTO mini football sevens. The boys attended their sevens tournament earlier today. Both teams put in some excellent performances and did the school proud. It’s back to the training field again now ahead of the 11-a-side blitzes in a couple of weeks.

Sports Day 2017
Powerful Puffins Make Principal Proud!
The 2017 Sports Day saw the introduction of teams for the first time. Every pupil in the school, from Juniors to sixth, was placed in one of six teams: Puffins, Deer, Frogs, Hares, Owls and Foxes. Points were awarded to the top five finishers in the running races, sack races and spud and spoon races. There was also an award for the team with the best team spirit. At the end of the races the points were totted up and it was The Puffins who emerged victorious. Congratulations to them and their coach, Mrs. Heelan.
Following the races the finals of the Ned Daly Shield, the Padraig Pearse Cup and the Summer Soccer League were played. These finals were the culmination of weeks of preliminary matches and the finals were closely fought contests. Congrats to Dublin who claimed the Ned Daly Shield, Mayo who captured the Pádraig Pearse Cup and France who beat England 3-2 in the final of the Summer Soccer League. Thank you to FAI Development Officer Barry McCann who came to the school to watch the soccer final and, along with Mike Bermingham of Herbertstown AFC, presented the school with footballs and equipment.
