Prize Giving is always a fabulous assembly in our school. The wonderful achievements of the girls over the year are acknowledged with medals and certs. We had prizes for football team, soccer team and athletics squad, the choir who performed at Peace Proms, the Ukulele & Recorder group and our young chefs who completed the cookery course. The 6th Class girls were also presented with their end of year attendance prizes. Well done to all the girls and teachers involved.

Sports Day was another great success. The children really enjoyed all the activities- rounders, playground games, novelty races, ball skills, obstacle course, yoga and benchball. The Senior classes also enjoyed Ultimate Frisbee. A big thank you to the parents association for the lovely treat of the ice cream van coming to visit our school. 

The girls have a fabulous week ahead full of fun and games. Hopefully the sun will continue to shine.

We had very special visitors in our school today! Our senior girls began training in Tag Rugby and even got to play in Aviva Stadium. A big thank you to our coach Ray for bringing it in to show us.

World champion Caradh O'Donovan came in to visit us here at St. John of God NS. She coached the girls in a variety of exercises that she says are the key to keeping our bodies strong and healthy. She also spoke to us about how we should never give up on our dreams! We are certainly going to take her advice as Caradh has represented Ireland in 3 sports and is now training really hard to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Have a look at some of our photos from this special training session.

Check out this tweet from Caradh after she came to visit! We are so happy to see she enjoyed being at our school!

We are looking for lots of support and some lifts from the mammies and daddies. Please come and cheer on our girls! 

Today we had our end of year assembly and prize giving.  We had a lot of prizes. A big thank you to Ms. Gleeson for doing such wonderful shopping. Well done to all the girls. The first prizes went to the girls who didn't miss a day for the last three months.

We also had prize giving to all the wonderful girls who took part in extra curricular activities during the school year.

We are very proud to be an Active School. Each year our school participates in Active Schools week. During this week, the girls in each class will participate in different P.E. activities everyday.

Our school jog is always a wonderful day for children and parents. Well done to all the girls, parents and teachers who took part this year.

Today, our Athletics team took part in the Santry Sports in Morton Stadium. The girls ran a great race and we are extremely proud of them! Well done to everyone for taking part and representing our school so well. 

Today we had 11 minutes of exercise at 11 o'clock. A  lovely finish to testing week.
