Friday 28th October was a proud moment for all of us as we gathered to celebrate the raising of our school’s Green Flag. A ‘Fáilte Speisialta’ by delighted children was extended to Colm Cooper and Barry John Keane who helped us raise the flag. The Green Flag is about creating an awareness and an understanding of the link between the way we behave – our actions and the environment. In the pursuit of this award the children showed that the Green Flag represents an understanding of our rights and responsibilities. The Green School’s Committee explained that getting the Green Flag means that we value our environment as a precious resource and that we all depend on and should take care of it. It is up to each one of us to care for and protect our Environment and preserve it for the generations to come.

The excitement was up to the sky and back today for our annual Patrick Curtin Tournament 🏆 Last week we had the group stages and unfortunately the orange and jersey teams were knocked out. Today was a fine display of football, with two semi final games firstly, the red team versus the yellow team and then the blue team versus non-bibs team.
All teams fought hard but it was meant to be for the yellow 🟡 and blue 🔵 team to meet in the final. It was a super entertaining final with lots of goals. In the finish the blue team pulled away and took the win. Their captain Mark was proud to lift the trophy. Thank you so much to the club for the field, Eileen, Evelyn and family for coming and making the presentation, to Conor for reffing and to the parents for supporting us on the day. The players were outstanding, very disciplined, encouraging and conscious of younger players. Cadán took the "Sportsmanship Award" for his brilliant attitude. He quietly went about his business, encouraging his team and played brilliant football also.
Ah thank you so much to Lee Strand and to all our great community for dropping in milk tokens for this competition 👏🏼 This money will be put to great use!
