COLÁISTE ABBAIN NEWS
Our under-14 hurlers had a brilliant time with Keith Rossiter from Outlart/The Ballagh and former Wexford player when he gave them a training session and talk as they prepare for their championship next week. Keith is now working as a selector with the Wexford Senior hurling team. Our lads really enjoyed their session and the future of GAA looks very bright in Coláiste Abbáin.
Our TY students had a trip to Leisure Max and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Thanks to Pauline and the ladies for their hard work in preparing healthy, nourishing and exciting menus for our students, their new healthy wraps went down a treat.
Well done to our History and Home Economic students who worked hard on their respective projects, it is lovely to see students engaging in independent self-directed learning and to be so proud of their individual creative work.
