We were delighted to welcome back four of our past pupils this week to the school. Adelaide, Aoife, Katie and Stephanie spent a number of days with all the classes as part of their work experience programme in post primary school. We thank them for their hard work and wish them well in whatever career path they choose to follow in the future.  In preparation for the upcoming Tipperary Cumann na mBunscol Hurling and Camogie fixtures and hopefully with the worst of the weather behind us, training after school will begin again. There will be training for the 4th, 5th and 6th class boys on Tuesday, February 23rd on the school pitch until 3.45pm (weather permitting). Camogie training and hurling training for the younger boys will begin very shortly also. Photography By: Jack Lonergan (6th Class)  Proclamation Day will take place in the school on Tuesday, March 15th at 1pm to commemorate the events of 1916. A special ceremony involving all pupils is currently being planned. Parents, family members and all parishioners are very welcome to attend this unique and historical event.

Well done to Kate Grogan who performed with the County Tipperary Ryan Youth Orchestra on Saturday, February 13th at the Festival of Youth Orchestras in the National Concert Hall in Dublin. Youth Orchestras from all over the country played on the night and the County Tipperary Ryan Youth Orchestra performed a number of well known pieces. Kate plays the cello in the orchestra and she very kindly brought it in to school and treated us to a performance of "Ode to Joy".  This week, the pupils created some pop-up cards in honour of St. Valentine's Day. Well done to the pupils from the school who recently sat the Rockwell College Scholarship Exam and who all performed with great distinction. Congratulations to Kate Flannery who finished second overall out of the eighty pupils who sat the exam and has been awarded a scholarship when she begins First Year in September.  |
