Cumann na mbunscol champions again!

Congratulations to our Boys team who won the county Division One title on May 35th last in Cusack Park. The team is captained by Jason Macken and John Kiernan from 6th class. There are thirty three boys on the panel and every one of them have worked very diligently all year and contributed to our famous victory. Mr. Nigel Boardman put a huge effort into preparing the team and organising all the matches played since September 2013. Thanks also to Mrs. Ronnie Cole, Ms. Aileen Leavy,  Mr. Jim Rock and Coralstown-Kinnegad GAA club.

Congrats also to the Girls team, captained by Favour Okafor, who won a very close Division One Shield final. Thank you to Mr. Corcoran and Ms. Spellman for their sterling efforts with this team over the year. 

Many thanks also to all the families and members of the wider community who showed their support for both teams.

National Children's choir

Fourth classes, along with their teachers, working alongside the National Children's Choir in  preparation for the much anticipated concert in May 2017. The concert took place in The Cathedral of Christ the King, Mullingar on May 11th and it was a fantastic display of the talent available in St. Etchens.
