Sports day 2023

On May 3rd it was Sports Day. It was a fabulous day for sports day to take place, the weather was just perfect.

All classes were brought to the hockey pitch at 9:00am. From 9:00- 10:40 all the track and field events took place. Each year was called up by Ms Cassidy on the megaphone and they had to go to their designated area for their event to take place.

Most of the transition year students signed up for different events, for example, 100m race, 200m race, shot-putt, high jump and relay races. It was great to see so many students getting involved in all these events.

After all those events were finished with, we had our break time until 11:10. After break everyone was to be back on the hockey pitch to do fun activities. This time there were many different ‘fun’ activities to take part in; like tug of war, sack race, three legged race and so on. Everyone had so much fun doing all these activities.

Then came the student vs. teacher football match.

Both teams had an amazing entrance song and then they started the warm-ups. The match began and the teachers scored the first goal! However this just made the students power up and drive on, more determined than ever to win the game.

The students got right back into it with an amazing goal. With the scores even both teams were giving it their all. There was some great teamwork shown in the match and some amazing blocks and strikes.

With less than 10 minutes to go in the match, the teachers scored a goal which brought the score line to 2-1 to the teachers. The game finished on that score, the teachers winning.

It was a very fair match and well done to both the teachers and students who took part in the match and made it a great memory for the people watching.

Thank you to Ms. Cassidy and Ms. Fagan for all their hard work in organising the day.
