Presentation Primary School

The highlight of Active Week was our Sports Day. The children enjoyed a wonderful day of fun and activity. Each class took part in races, relays, water games, tug of war, team challenges, obstacle courses and more. There was also a surprise visit from an ice cream van organised by our terrific Parents’ Council.

The day concluded with the staff challenging the 6th class girls to a basketball match in the Sports Complex. This was a very competitive game with the staff sneaking a hard earned victory on a scoreline of 13 points to 10.

Below is a gallery of over 100 photos for you to enjoy. Thanks to everyone who helped make today such a memorable and fun-filled day!

The pupils from Ms. Gleeson and Ms. King’s classes enjoyed a super school tour to Fota Wildlife Park today – even if they did get a little wet!! However the drizzle failed to dampen the spirits as the boys and girls got to see and learn about some amazing animals.

Over 60 girls took part in the School Camogie Leagues today and really enjoyed a fun and active afternoon. For some girls, this was their first time ever to try our most traditional Irish sport. Pupils from second and third class competed in the Junior League while the Senior League involved pupils from fourth and fifth class. Each league had four teams – Limerick, Clare, Cork and of course Tipperary.

The games were hotly contested and there were some wonderful skills on show. The soft rain that fell failed to dampen the spirits of either the players or the proud parents and grandparents watching on.

The Junior Final saw Limerick take on Tipperary. A last minute goal secured a 2-1 win for Tipperary and team captain Eva Barett lead her team to collect the gold medals. The Senior Final was also a very tight affair that ended as a draw even after extra-time. Only a penalty shootout could separate the teams with Cork eventually overcoming Limerick with a fine save from goalkeeper Eimear Sheridan. Captain Tianna Ryan led her team to the medal presentation.

Thanks to all who helped organise the league. Special thanks to Ms. Bohan, Ms. Ralph and Mr. O’Gorman who have promoted camogie throughout the year.

The future looks bright with all the talent on show today and we look forward to seeing all these girls play camogie next year.
