A special thank you to all organisers and local transition year students for their help and hospitality during this very well run event!

FAI Soccer 11 -a -side
Yesterday was an action-packed day of football as both our Girls and Boys 11-a-side teams kicked off their campaign in the 1st round of the FAI Primary Schools Competition.

In a thrilling and closely fought contest, both team’s showed tremendous determination and tactical maturity against a very strong Bandon side. Despite a narrow defeat, the team displayed super teamwork, solid defending, and brilliant skill in attack.

Every player worked tirelessly until the final whistle and while the scorelines didn’t fall our way on the day, both teams represented our school community with distinction and we are so proud of them all.

Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre Tour
2nd Class had a fantastic morning at the Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre earlier this morning.

From learning about our local food heritage and the history of the famous blackpudding, to dressing up in the old-time butcher shop and finishing with a tasty plate full of Clonakilty products —our 2nd class pupils were fully engaged from start to finish.

Huge thank you to all the team at the Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre for such a warm, informative and fun tour.

Pupils had a brilliant time building their cycling confidence through fun and active sessions focused on balance, braking, turning skills, and exciting bike games.

We’d a Table Tennis Takeover in our schoolyard all week for 2nd to 6th classes. 
Other highlights included GAA with Conan and tennis with Alan in our astro turf. 
Also, our 3rd and 4th class continued their “Unleash Your Drive” programme with Robert Cussen of Golf Ireland. These sessions are proving a real hit this year!!
Daily active breaks, active homework and feel good music at lunchtime were other activities enjoyed by our pupils last week. 
It certainly was a lively and engaging week, with the children embracing every activity with energy, and of course plenty of smiles. @active_school_flag #ASW26
