Well done and a big THANK YOU to all of our First Years who did a fantastic job helping in the annual Morriscastle Beach clean up. Students and Teachers set out early this morning to the local beach and helped to get rid of any rubbish that they found! Some Students even went for a swim! Fun and Games also took place, the highlight being the sandsculpting competition! Well done to Brendan Manning and Callum Gahan who won with their impressive crocodile! Well done to all involved!
Our 1st year Boys and Girls did us all proud yesterday! The boys played soccer against new local rivals Creagh College. The team was 3-1 down at half time and thanks to goals from the ’3 Jordans’ the match finished 4-4! Well done boys! The Girl’s Gaelic Football team beat Creagh College yesterday, well done to the girls and to Mr O’ Hanlon who has ensured some bragging rights over Mr O’ Loughlin!
