Champion Caradh Coaches Our Girls!

6/2/2018

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!

Gaelic Football

These girls trained hard after school and at lunchtime with Ms. Clarke, Ms. Gerrard and Ms. Keoghane. Many of the girls represented the school in this year's Cumann na mBunscoil League. Well done girls! A big welcome to the new member of the football team who have been training extremely hard every week for the past few months.

Music

The first and second class took part in violin lessons with Mrs. Breen after school. We are all looking forward to hearing them perform at the concert tomorrow.
The third class worked hard learning the recorder with a member of the Artane Band this year. They even got to perform with the Artane band! What an achievement and gret honour. Well done girls!
