Active Schools Week was jammed packed for 2023. It began on Monday with a coaching session in Badminton with two coaches from Moyvane Badminton Club. Children practiced their badminton skills in a fun and interactive way. That afternoon, Ms. Finnegan organised activities for every class to give them the opportunity to learn and develop their skills at hurdles, javelin throwing, reaction starts and relay races. On Tuesday, children were coached in basketball by Mrs. Quill. They warmed up their hands with some ball handling and then had a few games of hot seat and a blitz to finish. Wednesday began in a very calm and peaceful way thanks to a parent who volunteered to guide children in meditation and yoga poses. The children learned strategies for breathing effectively and stretching their bodies. The children then took to their bikes and other vehicles with wheels for a drive around the yard to practice balance, agility and learn the rules of the road. Thursday, saw the finals of the Patrick Curtin Memorial Cup come to a close with excellent displays of skill in football from both teams. The senior room also organised and coordinated activities for the younger classes to take part in. On the last day of the week, the week finished on a high as the children enjoyed multiple fun races including egg and spoon race, welly throw, three-legged race, sack race and tug-o-war. A great week full of activity was had by each and every child.

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.
