COLÁISTE MUIRE NEWS
Well done to the athletes of Coláiste Muire, who participated in the regional finals of the school’s athletics competitions in terrible weather conditions on May 1. Seán Hough came fifth in his 200 metre race just missing out on qualifying for the Connacht finals on May 17.
Oisin Brennan came first in the high jump and also qualified for the 800m sprints finishing sixth but still qualified. Eimear Connolly came fourth in the 100m and also qualified and Elizabeth Tighe came first in the high jump and came second in the hurdles. The next competitions will take place in Athlone on May 17 – best of luck to all.
Students at Coláiste Muire were recently awarded the Amber Flag, which is an initiative by Pieta House to encourage the promotion of positive mental health in schools and other organisations. As part of the efforts towards the application, the Amber Flag committee created an amber flag noticeboard displaying positive quotes in the school. Meetings were held to organise a non-uniform day and all students were asked to wear orange to raise awarenss on April 27. Well done all (photo attached).
Congratulations to Aoife Loughlin, Casey Cullen and Aoibhe Carty (Transition Year) also known as ACA who represented the school in the all-Ireland Senior Student Enterprise finals in Croke Park on May 2. The girls were unsuccessful this time, but their project, a handbook to encourage numeracy and literacy with exercises suitable for Junior Cycle students catering for all Junior Cycle subjects, garnered a lot of interest on the day. (Casey and her teacher Yvonne Carty are pictured in the attached).
