County Tipperary Primary Schools Cross Country Championships

30/9/2022

The 3rd - 6th Class pupils were delighted to get the opportunity to take part in the County Tipperary Primary Schools Cross Country Championships in Thurles Crokes Athletic Club on Wednesday. These championships could not take place over the past two years due to the health restrictions in place so for the vast majority of our pupils, this was their first experience of the event. Over 3,500 pupils from schools in Tipperary, Limerick and Cork took part in 39 races throughout the day.

Congratulations to all 41 of our pupils who completed their respective races and did the school proud. Well done to our individual and team medal winners as well.

Good Luck Girls!

Congratulations to Isabelle Fogarty who was the overall winner of a Teagasc sponsored national art competition aimed at raising the awareness of the risks to children from agricultural machinery and animals as well as encouraging families to think about farm safety.

Teagasc received over 100 entries and Isabelle's creative 4-in-1 picture entitled "Don't be daft, stay away from the PTO shaft" was deemed to be the winning submission.
