Comhgháirdeas foireann camógaíochta Chorcaí on winning O’ Duffy Cup in last Sunday’s All-Ireland Camogie Final.   A fantastic fightback in the second half saw Cork ladies beat a much vaunted Kilkenny team.

At school level both boys and girls are actively involved in Sciath na Scol league matches.  This involves travel, time and training with lots of energy expended by all concerned, pupils, coaches and parents. Comhgháirdeas le foireann na gcailiní, who recorded their first major win last week against Ovens. 1-9 to 0-5.

Trials for long distance races were held recently and we intend bringing a large contingent of runners to East Cork Sports in Conna on Aoine 26^th September.

Comhgháirdeas freisin to pupils from Rang V agus Rang VI who participated in the Harvest Quiz and their respective mentors and múinteoirí, Julie, Caitríona agus Cáit.  The two teams entered achieved 3^rd and 6^th place respectively from a total of forty five teams. Sár-obair.

Tracht: We are all well aware that essential road works pipe-laying is in progress throughout the town.  It is envisaged that works along Stand Street will commence @ October 13^th.  A traffic flow system and walkway will be in place to safeguard all concerned.  More details at a later juncture.

National Database: The Central Statistics Office in conjunction with Department of Education is in the process of compiling an electronic individualized database of primary school pupils called the Primary Online Database.

This will enhance smooth transition of essential details from primary to secondary school, show demographic trends for future school building programmes, enhance census details etc. (More details at a later juncture). In the meantime you are asked to hand in a copy of your child’s birth certificate during the coming weeks to your child’s class teacher. Kindly retain the original at home.

Thanking all parents who have budgeted accordingly for their child’s needs in the area of art and crafts, photocopying and cultural activities.  This amounts to seventy euro.  As already communicated these are for your child’s benefit, to purchase art materials, essential photocopying and enhance their school life in the area of drama, music, field trips and Irish dancing.  Kindly hand in to your class teacher as it is now needed to maintain activities such as the above.  Go raibh maith agat.  If you are experiencing major financial hardship kindly liaise with your class teacher, in confidence.  Thanking you for supporting your child and gaelscoil

Go raibh maith agat.
