Peil Faoí Dhíon Series

Our 2nd and 3rd class boys and girls took part in the Peil Faoí Dhíon series (Indoor Football) in Ballinacarriga Hall recently.

Both groups played games against Timoleague N.S, St. Mary’s Central School, Dromore NS, GS Dhroichead na Banndan and Kealkill NS.

They played with great spirit throughout both days and they all should be very proud of their performances. Well done to all involved.

We were delighted to welcome back Coach Aoife to our school for gymnastics during January and February this year.

Aoife has taught our senior classes gymnastics skills every Monday over the month of January.

Our next 4 week block sees our junior classes attending gymnastics classes with Aoife. 

The improvements in pupils, strength, flexibility and co-ordination has been fantastic to see.

Our pupils loved the high level of gymnastics on offer and we thank Aoife for providing fun and challenging sessions in a safe way.
