Arts and Activities Week

We have had a great Arts and Activities week. The children have enjoyed plenty of action-packed, fun-filled activities including face-painting, print workshops, bouncy castles, animation, tag-rugby, dance, hiking and African drumming to name but a few. The talent and creativity of Holy Rosary pupils was also clearly evident at your Art Exhibition on Tuesday.

Don’t forget our Art & Activities Week parade will take place tomorrow, Friday, 16th June at 10a.m. Each class will dress up and parade through Old Court, Ferncourt and Allenton Estates. Please come out and help and support us.

Sporting Success

Congratulations to the girls camogie team who won the Cumann na mBunscoil Sciath Olly Quinlan Final in Croke Park on Monday.

The team put on a fantastic display of camogie and were dominant all over the pitch throughout the whole game. It has been 20 years since the Holy Rosary camogie team brought silverware back to Ballycragh. The girls were welcomed back to the school by their families, friends and a whole school guard of honour.

Congratulations and thank you to their teachers Ms. Ralph and Ms. Naughton for all their hard work with the team.

A big congratulations also to the school basketball team on their success in the Annual Tallaght Garda Basketball Tournament in the Basketball Arena on Wednesday. They won all 6 games which got the m to the Final and they beat St. Martin de Porres in the final by 18pts to 4pts, this made them winners for the second year running. Well done to all the children involved and to their teachers Ms. Thornton and Ms. Morgan.

Important Dates

Hot Weather

Due to the warm weather at the moment a lot of children suffer from hay fever and other allergies. If this is the case for your child you should make sure to give them any medication in the morning before they come to school. It is also a good idea to put sunscreen on your child and make sure to give them plenty of water coming to school.
