Team Hope Shoebox Appeal 2019
5th and 6th Class had a great time at the recent Rugby Blitz in Birr R.F.C. Our Girls’ Team were flawless in winning all 4 of their games while our Boys’ Team did really well to win 2 out of their 3 games, despite having no reinforcements to call upon. A great day was had by all – thanks so much to Denis and all the crew at the Rugby Club!
Paul from Dogs Trust came to our school today with his dog Magic. Each class got to meet with Paul and Magic and hear about the important work they do.
Responsible Dog Ownership
Responsible Dog Ownership is the main theme behind the workshop. Dogs Trust believe all children should understand the work and effort that goes into taking care of a dog, and that if the current generation of school children are aware of this, we will have less dogs surrendered to pounds and rescue centres in the future.
Two primary schools will win €50,000 each to develop their playing facilities.
Ten primary schools will win €10,000 each to develop their playing facilities.
One school will win a training session with Paul O’Connell, plus a new set of jerseys.
Every completed entry receives an Aldi Play Rugby kit.
