3. Cross Country Competition: The Cumann na mBunscol Cross Country competition took place yesterday afternoon in Caherslee, Tralee.

We wish them a speedy recovery!
4. Gymnastics: Tomorrow, Friday is the final week of Gymnastics with Danny Sarkas from Flares Gymnastics, part of the Physical Education programme for this term.
5. New Goals: It is hoped that new goals will be purchased in the near future for the school’s astro area with the help of funding from the Parents Association. This contribution to the school is very much appreciated.
