Well done to everyone who participated in the U.L. Sport Kids Run and the Great Limerick Run. The school was very well represented between pupils, staff and family members taking part. A huge thank you also to our pupils who, thanks to their participation in the kids run, raised €245 for the school!
Congratulations to Seán Murnane and Aaron Hanley who played on the South Limerick team which won the Mackey Cup in the Gaelic Grounds recently. The boys played in both the semi-final (where the South defeated the East) and final (where the South edged a close game with the City).
They join a select group of past pupils of the school with Mackey Cup medals. (that group includes Killian O’Shea, Oisín O’Grady, Dermot Breen and Mike Bermingham)
If anyone knows of other past pupils who have won Mackey Cup medals, we would love to give them a mention here.
Third & Fourth Hurling Blitz in John the Baptist C.S.
Members of our third & fourth classes represented the school in a hurling blitz in John the Baptist C.S. in Hospital recently.
The pupils of 4th class visited the Kilmallock Water Treatment Plant for their 2016 school trip.

The INTO Mini Sevens team represented the South in UL where they narrowly lost out to Doon CBS and Milford NS and picked up a convincing win against Courtenay NS. Thanks to the great performance, Adam Boyle will get to be a referee in a mini-sevens game in Croke Park at half time during the All Ireland hurling semi-final in August.
Members of the local Irish Girl Guides or ‘Brownies’ wore their uniforms and badges to school to celebrate World Scout Day.
