Scoil Mhuire Notes
Comhghairdeas
There was great excitement in Scoil Mhuire last Wednesday when the U13 Boys hurling team managed to pull off a great double
success in the Cumann na mBunscol County Finals this year by winning the final against Borrisaleigh Boys. Supported by a
large crowd of fellow pupils, teachers, parents, families and parishioners, the Knockavilla boys played their hearts out in
a very competitive match. Both teams played with great skill and enthusiasm resulting in a draw at full time. However, in
extra time our boys managed to take and maintain a lead. Congratulations to all involved especially Mr Moran, Joanne and
Mr Comerford who work so diligently training the pupils in hurling, camogie and football in school.
End-of-Year Mass
On Thursday evening last the school community celebrated the approaching end of the 2013-2014 school-year with a beautiful
mass in the parish church. Afterwards, in glorious sunshine the congregation enjoyed tea and chat in (and outside) the
adjoining community centre. The pupils took this opportunity to show some of their school work to their families and friends. Tributes were paid to the Sixth Class who will be moving on to second level school in September. Amid great jubilation School Principal Eleanor O Dwyer, together with the team trainers, presented the victorious U13 boys with their county medals .Thanks to the Parents’ Association for organising the teas. Thanks also to Marie and DJ Butler for supplying the drinks and crisps for the children on the night.
Sports Day
Sports Day went off with great aplomb in school last Thursday. We were blessed with beautiful weather. Well done Ms O
Donoghue, who once again organised a fantastic day of sport and fun. The ‘Red Sox’ ended up winners. There was some
controversy after the Teachers’ Race as there were allegations of cheating!! Thanks to John Ryan for the much-needed
delicious ice-cream. Thanks also to the ‘ice-cream ladies’ who managed to supply over 150 ice-creams without a riot.
