A great day of football for the girls and boys 5 a side teams in ACETNS.

The boys won their group games 7-0, 4-0 and 8-0 to qualify for the semi finals. We unfortunately lost on penalties in the semis.

The girls also qualified for the semi finals but lost 5-3 after a great battle.

Well done to all players and management.

3rd, 5th and 6th class had another visit today from the Mobile Library. It is a fantastic resource and thanks to South Dublin County Council for their continued support this year.

Well done to the 47 pupils in First Class who completed their first swimming lesson in the National Aquatic Centre today. Thanks also to our parents who volunteered to help out today.

Well done to our very first badminton team who participated in the Leinster Primary Badminton Competition on Thursday in Baldoyle Badminton Centre. Both boys and girls team reached the quarter finals on the day and represented their school really well.

Thank you so much to the Defence Forces Band Brigade 2 who performed to our school today. Captain Kelly taught the children about all the musical instruments and conducted the band for a very entertaining performance.

This week marked the end of a seven week cycling course for 4th Class. Graham and Zara’s class learned the rules of the road from their instructors Lance and Paul, with some groups gaining confidence cycling in the yard and others gaining confidence cycling on the road.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Charity Run in December. The fundraising page closed today and a total of €1715 was raised, which is an incredible amount of money. These funds will go directly to the Heart Centre in Crumlin Children’s Hospital.
