5-a-side Soccer Champions

Our sixth class boys became Westmeath 'Large Schools' 5-a-side soccer champions yesterday, having come through two very tough days of matches. Along the way, they played Educate Together N.S., Gainstown N.S., Presentation N.S., St. Mary's N.S.  from Athlone, and finally, it all came down to the last game against St. Etchen's N.S. in a winner takes all scenario. Our boys went two nil up before St. Etchen's pulled two back to level the game. After half time, St. Colman's took control and slotted two more past the St. Etchen's defence to run out 4-2 winners on the day. This is a huge achievement and we are very proud of our players for the way they represented the school. Next stop is the North Leinster Finals in Navan at the end of April. Fingers crossed for another victory!

Incredible Edibles

The boys and girls in Ms Hamill's Junior Infant Class are taking part in a very exciting project called 'Incredible Edibles'. Plant pots, soil, seeds, watering cans and fun activity sheets were sent to the school and Ms Hamill got down to work straight away with her students. The children planted spinach, carrots, chives, tulips and strawberries and thoroughly enjoyed their planting experience. They are now eagerly awaiting the first sign of growth.

Ligaemat

As part of their studies on Africa, the students in Mr Beehan's Sixth Class were treated to a Sudanese cooked dessert from their classmate Noon Abeltaiff yesterday. She kindly prepared a dish called Ligaemat, which is a deep fried dessert commonly enjoyed in Sudan. A huge thank you to Noon for all her hard work. Her Ligaemat went down very well indeed.

All Ireland Boxing Winners

Two of our young boxers, who are no strangers to winning competitions, have done it again! David Geoghegan from Mrs Connaughton's Sixth Class and Tadhg Sheridan from Mr Beehan's Sixth class are both members of the Olympic Boxing Club. On Saturday last, they took part in the Irish Athletic Boxing Association All Ireland Championships. After what I'm sure was a number of gruelling bouts, David and Tadhg emerged as overall winners in their respective categories. Congratulations to you both. You have done your club and school proud.
