Wishing all pupils a wonderful time over the coming months, especially those finished their Leaving and Junior certificate exams. Please take care, especially when it comes to water safety.
SCHOOL TOUR
Pupils from Kilmoyley National School enjoyed a great day full of exciting activities in Ballybunion recently. The children were delighted with the facilities in the magnificent Ballybunion Health and Leisure Centre. Then it was onto “Checkers” where the children were taught how to bake scrumptious cupcakes. Everybody enjoyed the “Crazy Golf” challenging but super fun.
SCOUTING WORKSHOP
Thank you to Angela, Travel Officer with An Taisce who conducted a Scooting Workshop at Kilmoyley National School on Tuesday 19th June. The aim of the workshop was to ensure that children are aware of safety rules and ways to keep themselves safe when scooting. As part of the workshop Angela taught the children how to use their brakes and how to adjust the various parts of the scooter. Basic safety rules to use when scooting were also highlighted.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to Diarmuid Carroll who was presented with “The Player of the Week” trophy by St. Brendan’s Football Club recently.

We’ll see you afterwards at O’ Sullivan’s Lerrig Stores for a cuppa! Coimeád Cill Mhaoile Glan!
FRIENDS FOR LIFE
Fourth Class pupils celebrated the conclusion of their Friends for Life Programme by inviting Garda Mark Cushen to the school. Garda Mark spoke to the children about the importance of believing in themselves even when things aren’t going well. He encouraged them to keep trying no matter how tough the situation seems to be. Garda Mark is no stranger to pushing his body to the limit having taken part in iron man competitions in Austria and Lanzarote.The Friends for Life programme helps children to develop resilience by teaching them effective strategies to cope with, problem solve and manage all kinds of emotional distress, including worry, stress, change and anxiety. Skills learned throughout the programme help children both now and in later life.

TIDY TOWNS FUN RUN/WALK
Glorious sunshine greeted the runners on what was a spectacular Sunday morning for a jaunt around The Ring. Everyone in the parish who painted, planted or mowed must be acknowledged as the course was indeed looking its absolute best for the 220 runners who came as far away as Midleton and Essex to take part in the event. Big Jim created an energetic atmosphere around the starting line just before our first ever female race starter, Helen O’ Hara, got proceedings underway. As always our many stewards were acknowledged by several runners on the fantastic job they did on managing the course and getting all the participants around safely. Afterwards a delectable array of sandwiches, cakes and fresh fruit, which had been prepared by our wonderful team of catering volunteers, awaited everyone back at The Community Care Centre. Tidy Towns Kilmoyley would like to acknowledge all those who contributed water, milk etc. and to encourage the support of our several sponsors who help to make the event possible. Check out our Facebook page for further details on the list of sponsors and for a full list of the results.
