Volleyball All-Ireland Finals
A huge congratulations to our mixed volleyball team who represented the school at the All-Irelands in Limerick last week. They did extremely well winning every game in their group. Unfortunately they just lost out in the quarter finals by four points. Well done to everyone involved and to all of those who go to volleyball training every week.

Junior Infants and some students from Le Chéile visited the Teddy Bear Hospital at NUIG, Galway
Great News! Our Junior Infant class was successful in securing a place at this year’s Teddy Bear Hospital in NUIG on Thursday 26th of January.
What is Teddy Bears Hospital you may ask?
Teddy Bear Hospital is a student-led project/initiative run by medical, healthcare, and science students at NUIG Galway ( The Sláinte Society/Health Promotion Society). they focus on promoting all aspects of physical and mental health. The goal of the Teddy Bear Hospital is to reduce playfully the fear of children when visiting a doctor and at the same time provide an opportunity for medical students to learn more about pediatrics and give them a chance to work with children.
The main focus of the Teddy Bear Hospital is to create an atmosphere of trust where children can deal with the topic “Hospital and Disease”. They want to show that illness and the fight against it, is part of everyday life and does not necessarily have to be experienced as threatening or frightening.
We had a great day out. The children had an opportunity to explain what had happened to their teddies, receive a prescription, and attend the x-ray department, the A & E, and the pharmacy. Some of their teddies needed an x-ray, some had to get stitched, some an injection, and some just needed some TLC.
Thank you to the two Marias, Philip, and Eilis for accompanying us on our day out!
