TOMBRACK NS

The teachers, board of management and pupils of Tombrack NS would like to thank everyone who supported their recent fundraisers. Your help and generosity is greatly appreciated. We would also like to thank the members of the all-Ireland Hurling team of 1996 who came to hurl at our official opening of the astroturf pitch. Thanks to Liam Spratt for his great commentary, to James Ownes for refereeing the match, to the Ballindaggin Pipe Band, to Michael Darcy and Caroline Doyle for their beautiful singing. Thanks also to the parents for the refreshments, the stewards and anyone who helped out on the night.

We would like to wish our sixth class pupils every success in their future.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to our new principal Mr Bobby Kenny, who will start in the school on Monday, September 3.

We wish Mrs Doyle a very happy and healthy retirement and we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to her for her tireless work and commitment during her 15 years in Tombrack NS.
