KNOCKAVILLA COMMUNITY COUNCIL.

TABLE TENNIS

The Community council are organising table tennis nights (or ping pong if you're posh) for children and adults. Tuesday

nights, from 6pm til 8pm will be dedicated to children from age 10 upwards. Lessons on how to play and leagues will be

organised, and Thursday night's will facilitate any adults who wish to compete in a parish league. We will have two tables

up and running from the start, and hopefully if there is enough interest we can get 3 tables going. We hope to be started

by mid-October. A minimal charge of 1euro per night will apply to all participants.

CHURCH GATE COLLECTION

Thank you to all who supported our collection last weekend, funds raised will go to maintaining the community centre.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR PAST PUPILS

Well done to all Scoil Mhuire’s past pupils on their great results in the Leaving Cert and in the Junior Cert. We are all

very proud of you and wish you the very best in the future.

VISIT TO CAPPAMURRA BOG

The pupils in 5th and 6th Classes, together with their teachers, went on a field trip to Cappamurra Bog during September.

It was a great visit to this magical place of natural beauty on our own doorstep. We plan to follow-up on the trip in our

art workshops with Caoimhín from the National Gallery of Ireland, who will be coming to Scoil Mhuire in the coming weeks. 

 

COUNTY TIPPERARY SCHOOLS CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS

 

Congratulations to all the pupils in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Classes who took part in the Schools’ County Cross Country

Championships in Thurles on Wednesday Oct 1st. Following their training schedule in school, every pupil completed the

course – no mean feat when one considers the distances of 800m and 1000m! Once again we witnessed some wonderful individual

and team performances from our students. Shane Buckley, 3rd Class ran a fantastic race and won a gold medal in his category. Ben Loughman, 6th Class won a bronze medal in his category for the second year in a row. Our Senior Boys’ Team won a silver team medal with Ben Loughman, Reuben Bourke, Jack Breen and David Carroll leading in the team.

Many thanks to all who helped-out on the day, especially our very enthusiastic teachers and snas. Thanks also to John Moore

and Dundrum Athletic Club for their support and help. Well done to Emby Walshe and the County Tipperary Athletic Association

for the wonderful work they do in organising this great event.

BADMINTON RETURNS.

The autumn evenings are upon us and the nights are gradually getting longer. If you are looking for some exercise over

those long winter months,well Badminton could be the game for you. It starts back after the summer break on Monday next

the 15th of September in the Scout Centre Dundrum at 8pm and continues every Monday and Thursday night until next April.

So come along and enjoy. New and old members are badly needed.
