Congratulations to Carrickcruppen GAA on winning the Intermediate Football Championship yesterday! The team was captained by our past pupil, Jack Cunningham. Well done also to the other past pupils who were members of the winning team, Adam Matthews, Cathal O'Grady, Aaron Kimbley, Stephen Loughran, Turlough McGivern, Shane Trainor and Shea Loughran.

A big well done to all of the pupils from P.4 to P.7 who applied and interviewed for Digital Leaders with Miss Smith last week. Eight lucky boys and girls were chosen to join the existing Digital Leaders and were celebrated at an assembly yesterday – a massive congratulations to Millie (P4), Aine (P5), Conrad (P6), Robin (P6), Paidi (P6), Orlaith (P7), Eirinn (P7) and Lara (P7). They did a fantastic job during the interview stage and we’ve no doubt that they will use their creativity, problem solving and computational thinking skills to lead learning and teaching with technology across our school this year. This is a brilliant opportunity for these boys and girls to develop important skills that will help them in their education and future employment.

We extend our deepest sympathies to her husband John, daughters Kathy and Tracey, her son Joe, her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, her niece Mrs Siobhan Bellew (P3) and her entire family circle. St Joseph, pray for her.

The Governors, Principal and staff of St Joseph’s PS are saddened to learn of the passing of Owen McCormack, father of our colleague, Fionna Patton. We extend our deepest sympathies to Fionna, her sister Patricia, her mother Anna and the entire family circle. St Joseph, pray for him.
