St Mary’s Sports Day 2022

Patrick McCoy P7 Blog, School Life, School News, Seasonal, Sports

St Mary’s Whole School Sports Day, sponsored by SPAR, took place last Tuesday. All of our pupils enjoyed a full day of activities down the field.

P4-P7 girls spent the first half their day at Mullaghbawn club for a Camogie Fun Day, before returning to take part in their full programme of events for Sports Day in the afternoon. Thanks to Miceal, his coaches, Mrs O’Hagan, Mrs Glynn and everyone in Mullaghbawn Camogie Club for organising a great morning.

A huge thanks also to SPAR Mullaghbawn, who again sponsored goodie-bag packs for every child in the school. This is an extremely generous act and is much appreciated by everyone associated with the school.

Finally, well done to our P7 pupils who operated the ice-cream stand on the day.

Cycling Proficiency Scheme 2022

Patrick McCoy P7 Blog, P7A Blog, School News, Seasonal, Sports

Last week, the P7 pupils who enrolled in the Cycling Proficiency Scheme all sat (and passed) their theory test. Afterwards, they were awarded their certificates.

Since the Easter break, the children have taken part in practical and theory lessons to help them understand the rules of cycling and improve their ability on a bicycle. Although there has been a great improvement over the course of the scheme, the children fully understand that this has not made them experts or ensure that they will be exempt from danger. They must take great care every time they get on their bikes and always wear a helmet.

This year was a special one, as it was the 50th anniversary of the Cycling Proficiency Scheme. Congratulations to all of the children on their success.

🚲Cyclist Alert 🚲

Dear Parent/Guardians/Community Member

Our Cycling Profiency Scheme for P7 pupils begins today and will continue over subsequent Fridays until the end of term. As a result there will be an increased number of children cycling to and from school, in both the village and around the back roads. We ask all drivers to be alert especially around the school gates at pick up and drop off times.

Thank you for your understanding and help with this matter.

P7 Teachers- Mr P Mc Coy, Miss P Mulkerns

Good Luck!!!

Best wishes to our Girls’ Gaelic Football team and their coaches tomorrow, as they take on Armagh CBS in the Athletic Grounds, in the Girls’ semi-final, of the Malachy Mc Genney Cup, ( large school category). Throw in is at 11:45 am. We congratulate them on their achievement to date and wish them well for the next round.

The whole girls’ squad will travel to Armagh, and they will need to bring a packed lunch. Please remember to layer up as it can be cold out of the sun.

In the event that they win their Semi-final, the Final will also be played tomorrow and is due to take place at 2:10 pm. In this eventuality the squad would not be back for 3:00 pm and we ask Parents/Guardians to have arrangements in place for a pick up at 3:30/3:45 pm. We will place a notice on the school website, tomorrow, as soon as we know the outcome of the Semi-final.

We have had a message from someone special which we would like to share with our team! Click on the link below
