Sports day 2016

What an amazing sports day we had today. 6th class and Ms Giblin did a fantastic job of organising a brilliant  sports day for the whole school. 6th class have been involved in the Sky Sports Challenge and they have been teaching the whole school orienteering and outdoor activities. They have grown in confidence from their participation in the programme. They organised the jumble sale and colour run also as part of the challenge. Thank you Ms Giblin and 6th class for a wonderful day. 

Thank you to the wonderful parents of Newcastle for organising the barbeque again this year. It is the highlight of the school calendar and we all really enjoyed the burgers, hot dogs and drinks provided by the parents. Thank you very much. Thank you to all the parents who came along today.

Boys County Final 9-6-2016

We won the qualifier on the 29 of May in Kinvara. We had to play Ardrahan and Gort. We knew we were playing Clarinbridge because we stayed to watch their match. A fortnight later the final was on in Ballinderrine. The match started at 2 o’clock. We started slow with them getting the first 2 scores. We responded with a point at halftime it was 5 points to 2. Straight away in the second half we got 2 frees and scored them. Then Clarinbridge got a goal but we came back with 2 points and a goal with another goal and point to top it off. We had 7 people from Newcastle finish on the team.We’re looking forward to the All Ireland semis in August.
