Congratulations to Brian Cahill following his conferring last week as a Doctor in Education from UCC. A wonderful achievement following countless hours of work, study and research over many years. Well done to Dr Brian from all your Thomastown NS colleagues and the entire school community!  6th Class were delighted to visit Victor Stud prior to the summer holidays following an invitation received from Godolphin Ireland. The stud farm is only a short walk from the school so we donned our hi-vis jackets and headed off. Thank you to Paddy, Colette, Mick and John from Godolphin Ireland who showed us around the farm and explained to us the work involved in running and maintaining such a busy farm. They explained how to measure and weigh a horse as well as the importance of good grooming, healthcare and feeding. We learned about micro-chipping, examined a horse passport and we also saw the horse weigh bridge in action along with the machinery in use each day on the farm. At the end of our visit, Paddy very kindly gave each of the pupils a goodie bag to go with the information book we received at the beginning of our visit. On our way back to the school, we were delighted to receive more refreshments courtesy of our past pupil, Sophie O'Toole, at Thomastown Cross! Thank you to everyone at Victor Stud along with Sophie who helped to make it such a memorable and enjoyable day out.  Congratulations to Lucy Hall, Tomás Leahy, Avril Marnane and Benjamin Moloney who won the Plate Final at the Inter Schools Tennis Tournament in Lattin Lawn Tennis Club recently. Many thanks to the organisers. Very well done to you all!  Well done to our Under 13 & Under 11 teams who were busy taking part in the Tipperary Cumann na mBunscol hurling and camogie competitions prior to the summer holidays. All of the teams acquitted themselves very well and represented the school with great distinction.  Our equestrian team had a brilliant day at the Leugh NS Showjumping Competition in Cashel Equestrian Centre recently. We had great success in the individual events and we were delighted to come in first place in the team event that concluded the day. Congratulations to Mia, Niamh, Jamie, Lucia, Beau and Lucy who represented Thomastown NS so well.  Junior and Senior Infants really enjoyed taking part in the parish GAA blitz along with the children in Golden National School prior to the summer holidays. They played two hurling games and two football games with the emphasis on participation and enjoyment for all. The teams were well managed by the 6th Class children in both schools. Thank you very much to James McCarthy and Golden/Kilfeacle GAA for organising this event.  |
