Harry Greensmyth

Staff
The staff of Herbertstown National School would like to extend their sympathies to the family of Harry Greensmyth who passed away last night.

 

Harry gave tremendous service to Gaelic Games in the school in the past through coaching and assisting in the fielding of teams in Cumann na mBunscol competitions. Harry was also the point of contact for the school in reporting results to the local papers. More recently, Harry helped the school complete a record of participation by the school in south & county competitions in Gaelic Games going back to the 1970s. An array of resources and journals were consulted to create this extensive record and Harry was very generous with his time in facilitating this research.

Credit Union Quiz

Staff

The Credit Union Quiz took place on the 29th of January. Our school entered four team: two U11 and two U13. At the quiz competition was very tight with our U11 teams placing fourth and sixth. The competition was very tight between our U13s as there was one point separating them in the final score. Both teams did well as one was in a three way tie for second and the other ending up third. There were 11 U11 teams competing and 26 U13 teams. 

 

Overall, all our teams performed really well.
