Sponsored Walk
A huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone who has sponsored any of our students in raising funds for our school for our annual Sponsored Walk in Thurles Racecourse. There will be a prize for the student who raises the highest amount. Also, the class that fundraises the greatest aggregate amount will win a class prize. Many thanks to the Molony family for their continued support in allowing us to use their racecourse. Many thanks to the local Gardaí, to our staff and to our PE Department, who have organised this whole event. Míle buíochas go léir. #presproud
An Turas Idirbhliana go dtí Gaeltacht Chiarraí le Aobh Ní Riain Ní Dhondún
Tír gan teanga tír gan anam, mar a deir an seanfhocal. Is fíor é! An tseachtain seo caite, chuaigh rang na hIdirbhliana go dtí Contae Chíarraí ag lorg ceoil, craic agus sosa ón lá scoile i nDurlas! Tar éis lóin i dTrá-lí, bhaineamar ár gceann scríbe amach – Corca Dhuibhne. Ar dtús, nuair a schroicheamar an Daingean, ar aghaidh linn chuig an Ionad Oidhreachta, an Díseart. D’fhoghlaimíomar faoi Nano Nagle agus na fuinneoga gloine dhaite Harry Clarke sa Séipéal Naomh Mhuire. Agus siopadóireacht déanta sa Daingean, rinneamar ár mbealach go dtí na mná tí i gCeann Trá agus Baile an Fheirtéaraigh. Chun an fhírinne a rá bhíomar lag leis an ocras agus lag leis an tart ach buíochas le Dia, bhí béile blasta againn. Bhí Zumba sa halla i gCeann Trá an tráthnóna sin. Bhí spórt, sult agus spraoi againn ag damhsa is ag gáire le chéile. Bhí léacht againn freisin ar an gceantar le múinteoir áitiúil. An lá dár gcionn, chuamar ar thuras culthúrtha timpeall Chinn Shléibhe. Thugamar cuairt ar Dhún Chaoin, ar Ionad an Bhlascaoid agus ar Ghallarus. Chuamar go dtí an trá um thráthnóna ag snámh, ag imirt camógaíochta is ag cadhcáil. Bhí an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch. Ní raibh cíos, cás nó cathú orainn agus muid ag baint taitnimh as na radharcanna difriúla a bhí cois farraige. Tar éis dinnéir bhaineamar taitneamh as an gCéilí mór i halla Cheann Trá. Ar an Aoine, thugamar cuairt ar an Mara Beo sa Daingean. Rinneamar ár ndícheall Gaeilge a labhairt an t – am ar fad. Mar a deirtear “Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste!“ Bhí turas iontach againn a chuir clabhsúr ar imeachtaí na hIdirbhliana 2023/2024. Nach aoibhinn beatha an scoláire!
