Our boys football team will play in the Cumman na mBunscol football county final against Gaelscoil na Cruiache in McHale Park on Monday 10^th June at 2.15pm.  Transport will be provided for the team to travel from school to the match; the bus will leave McHale Park at approximately 3.40pm, to allow for trophy and medal presentations following the match, and will arrive back at school approximately 4.15pm. The cost of the bus, which is being subsidised by the school, is €5 per child please.

For parents who wish to attend the match, please note the following from the County Board:

“Sideline Rules
Parents, spectators and all observing from the side line to show encouragement to the children that are playing; to show respect to referees and officials.

Refrain from using abusive and inappropriate language
We understand that this is never intended, but accidental slips are regularly heard in the heat of the moment.  Remember, this is a completition for children, involving children.

Admission Charge
Please be aware there is an admission charge of €5 per family/€3 per adult.  Match programmes will be available on the day.”

 Best of luck to all involved.

Due to the forecasted inclement weather, the organisers of the Kenny Folliard Memorial Cup have cancelled the match due to take place tomorrow (31st May) until a later date.

Well done to the boy’s football team winning their quarter final match today against Belcarra NS 5-13 to 3-8. Happy faces! A very big thank you to Ms Gorman, Ms Horkan, Noel McHugh and Eamon Byrne for their help with training the team; to Síle Burke for providing the fruit after the match; to Noreen Ruane-Dalton for this fab photo and to Thomas Dalton for buying the ice-creams!  Well done to everyone and good luck for the semi-final next week.

Please see the following we have been asked to pass onto parents.  We would encourage you to complete the questionnaire in order that your voice be heard.

Dear Parent / Guardian

Mayo County Council are conducting research into the play and recreation needs of children and young people (0 – 18 Years) in Mayo to develop a county wide Play and Recreation Strategy. As part of this work we are consulting with as many children, young people and adults as possible across the county. Mayo County Council invites you as parents to join us in developing our Play and Recreation Strategy.

Parents can contribute by taking part in an online survey that will inform and shape the strategy which will have a key focus on supporting children and young people ‘playing outside’. Mayo County Council is keen to get as many views as possible so we can reflect your opinions within the strategy. This will inform and influence an action plan aimed at improving and increasing outdoor play and recreation opportunities across the county. The link to the questionnaire hosted by Mayo County Council is  https://forms.gle/PrJ8zYQeMUs6PQ3cA. the questionnaire closes on 31^st June 2019
