Boys & Girls Teams through to South Finals
Well done to our boys hurling team and girls camogie team who have qualified for south finals in their divisions.
The girls are through to play Effin NS in the Roinn B decider following wins over Ballylanders NS and Knockainey NS yesterday in Martinstown.
The boys are through to the Roinn A final following victories over Kilfinane NS, Hospital NS, Galbally NS and Croom NS in their blitz last week. In a local derby, Herbertstown will play Hospital in the final and it will be the first time Herbertstown have played in the Roinn A final since 1988.
Hurling Skills Competition
Well done to Seán, Liam and Tadhg who represented the school in hurling at the Primary Schools Skills competition in Mick Neville Park, Rathkeale yesterday.
Limerick Primary Schools Athletics
Over 40 pupils from the school took part in the Limerick Primary Schools Athletics in UL on Thursday.
With strong performances in all events our boys and girls did fantastically well in this team based competition. The boys team placed second in their category while the girls finished third. Both teams were only a handful of points away from higher placings. Huge credit is due to both teams who gave every race or long jump 100% in a outing where a lot of waiting is involved before participation. Well done to all!
3rd/4th Class School Tour
The 3rd/4th class school tour to UL Adventure Centre in Killaloe was great fun for all and the group enjoyed activities on both the land and the water in lovely May sunshine!
Dancing with Pat
Pupils from all classes are making great progress in a variety of routines that Pat is working on with them.
Herbertstown NS Pupils in action for South Limerick
Congratulations to Lauren & Aoibhinn who won the Neville Cup with South Limerick yesterday!
South Limerick defeated Limerick City on a scoreline of 1.05 to 0.03. Well done to our girls who join past pupil Aisling Farrell as the sole holders of Neville Cup medals from Herbertstown NS.
Earlier in the week, Liam & Seán were in action for the boys in the Mackey Cup. The South were looking for a fourth title in a row but this was a bridge too far as they bowed out in the semi-final.
We are very proud of our pupils who represented our school with such distinction.
Primary Game
Best wishes to Tadhg who will be playing the Primary Game during the Munster Football Championship meeting of Limerick & Tipperary in Thurles this weekend.
Kids Run For Fun/Great Limerick Run
Well done to everyone from the school community who took part in events over the May Bank Holiday weekend.
We had almost 50 pupils involved in the Kids Run for Fun on the Saturday and numerous others from the wider school community who completed the Great Limerick Run on the Sunday.
Active School Flag Survey
Our Active School Flag Committee carried out a sports/P.E. related survey last week.
Members of our Active School Flag Committee were busy last week as they carried out a survey of our pupils’ views on sport & P.E. in the school.
The committee tallied up all the results just before the Easter holidays and produced some very interesting results!
