Our Athletics Club have been training hard in recent weeks to prepare for the annual Cumann na mBunscol events held in Santry Stadium.
Each member of the 30-strong team showed great courage and determination and gave it their all.
Two of our sprinters achieved 1st place in their races and won gold medals – congratulations!

Just as we thought we couldn’t be any more proud or delighted, our 6th Class team began their relay race. It truly has to be seen to be believed with outstanding running from each member of the team.

Irish Olympian, Derval O’Rourke, sent a very special message to our winning team, saying ‘Fab to hear about the win. Brilliant that it was in a relay. A massive well done and super to see such team work. Sprinters are the best!’
We couldn’t agree more!
The team arrived back at school to a hero’s welcome and their enormous trophy has pride of place in our Reception area for all to see. Look out for these boys – they’re going places!
