Green Schools Flag Award

We recently received the wonderful news that Our Lady's N.S. had earned our third Green Flag. This award was in recognition of our work  on the theme of Water. Green Schools Chairperson, Mrs. O'Dea accompanied by three Committee members went to Hotel Kilkenny on May 24th to accept the flag on our behalf. Well done to everyone on their hard work and especially to the Committee for leading the charge.

Spikeball Blitz

On Tuesday, May 16th, Fifth and Sixth went to a Spikeball blitz in the Convent. We had four teams taking part: The Black Panthers, The Chimpamzees, The Snakes and The Elephants. I was part of The Black Panthers.

My team was the first to play on Court 1. It was great fun watching the other teams.Our coaches were a great boost for our enthusiasm.

One of the Ballingarry teams, The Elephants got through to the final. We screamed and roared our encouragement. In the end The Elephants won and we had an amazing day.
