Winners!

We received some good news at Our Lady's N.S. recently. It seems that we have some prize winning artists in the school.

In the Thurles Gardaí Art Competition,  Oisín O'Brien won first prize in the Second Class competition. Emily Ivers came second in the Third Class competition.

And if that wasn't enough Cormac Boylan won second prize for his age group in the Credit Union Art Competition.

Well done!

Presentation Secondary School Taster Day

On Tuesday, November 14th the students of Fifth and Sixth Class were invited down to the Secondary School for a taste of what life would be like if they choose to go there. Here is what they thought:

"Today I went to the Secondary School. My time there was great. We first went to the Woodwork class and then we had a bit of lunch. We then went to Art and sculpted monsters out of clay. When we were finished we went on the bus back to school. I had great fun and I will definitely be going there next year."
- Emma Geeves, 6th Class

"Today Fifth and Sixth Class went down to the Secondary School. First, when we went in we did Woodwork. We made keychains with Mr. Egan. Then we did Art. We used clay to make a creature. We also got a goody bag each. Then we went and played hockey, soccer and basketball. My favouite activity was the Art."
- Josh Kealy, 6th Class

There was an individual medal for Elizabeth Tye who won the Girls 3rd/4th Class race. Isabelle Corbett (Silver) and Shauna Dunne (Bronze) also won medals in the Girls 5th/6th Class race. Aoife O'Sullivan finished just outside the medals with her fourth place finish in the Girls 5th/6th Class race.
