Enjoying an impromptu Ceilí and dancing to 'Galway Girl' - an appropriate song for the venue! Trying to beat the bog and save their shoes during the Turf Challenge in Killary Adventure Centre! For their last ever primary school tour, 6th Class travelled to Killary in scenic Connemara, Co. Galway. Firstly, they visited the Aerial Park and climbed into the tree canopy for some zip lining across four different courses, along with navigating their way around the 32 different elements throughout the courses. Next up, they returned to solid ground and tested their aim and accuracy with some Archery. As the group was in Connemara, they even managed to fit in a Ceilí into their schedule. Last but not least, they took on the Turf Challenge and they tried to beat the bog! The Turf Challenge was made famous on 'Ireland's Fittest Family'. Huge thanks to all the staff in Killary Adventure Centre who were so helpful throughout our time there.
The 6th Class returned home tired, a bit muddy but with some wonderful memories from their last trip with the school! We were delighted to attend the Rockwell College 5th & 6th Class Tag Rugby Blitz recently. Huge thanks to everyone in Rockwell College who organised such a well-run and enjoyable event. The refreshments provided for everyone after the games were greatly appreciated as well. It was great to meet some of our past pupils also on the day!

Congratulations to the boys and girls who celebrated their First Holy Communion on Saturday. We are very proud of you all. Thank you to Mrs. Ryan and Fr. Coffey for all of their work for the ceremony.
Best wishes to Jessica Byrnes in 6th Class who has been selected for the Tipperary Primary Game Camogie team. Jessica will be representing the school during half time in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship game between Tipperary and Cork in Semple Stadium this Sunday 19th May.
Enjoy your day, Jessica! It was a busy few days for the 5th & 6th Class pupils this week as they participated in the FAI Schools Primary 5s blitzes. Two teams headed to Cahir Park AFC on Monday for their qualifiers while another two teams were in Peake Villa AFC, Thurles today for their blitzes. Well done to all four of our teams who performed so brilliantly throughout and we had two fantastic days out. Thanks to Declan Barron, Tracy Gleeson and everyone in FAI South Tipperary and FAI North Tipperary for organising all the games.
Congratulations to our girls' squad who qualified for the County Finals in a few weeks time. The girls won the three games in their group and also won a playoff final v Dualla NS today to qualify. The final finished level after normal time, went to extra time but both teams still couldn't be separated at that stage so we went to a penalty shootout, which we thankfully won! 1st & 2nd Class had a great time at the hurling blitz in The Abbey School yesterday. Thank you very much to Denis O'Mahoney and David Byrne from Tipperary Games Development for inviting us along. We had a fantastic time. Thank you also to the staff and students in The Abbey School for their hospitality. A special word of thanks to Daniel, our past pupil, for keeping us topped up with tea and coffee throughout the day!
