Darragh Reen returned yet again, with his mates, Corn Uí Mhuirí Champions, after beating The ‘Sem’ Killarney (handsomely). CBS The Green are now Munster Colleges Champions and if they can nail the semi-final on March 21st, they will play in Croke, giving chase to the Hogan Cup. Can you imagine the pride we felt as we welcomed Darragh and two other former Caherleaheen pupils. David and Jack Moriarty ( Kerry Minors:) The whole panel arrived on Thursday and all were cheered by our young hopefuls in the yard at lunch time. Comhgáirdeas libh! However, a night of Active Homework received the wildest cheers! Thanks Darragh! I suppose if you get to Croke again, we will have to give you a night off study. Ádh mór oraibh go léir 21/3/20
We secured funds to enable our pupils to enjoy and share books in their native language. We are sure that parents will enjoy reading time at home! Dziękuję ci, míle buíochas agus gracias, Ms Claire!
What great swimmers, athletes, dancers and fighters 🙂 We have an great participation and success rate, generally, but these young swimmers enjoyed an extra special, superb weekend! We are so proud of them. Our Senior Relay swimmer won a Silver medal in the Tralee Community Games. AND one of our boys won a stunning individaual Gold medal (by at least 5 metres ) in the 100m backstroke. Our Senior individual ‘butterflier’ won Silver. Our Junior girl won an individual Silver. These swimmers won heats and reached finals on Saturday and all are dedicated to weekly training and aqua-discipline! They love it. Most are on their way to the Munster Community Finals in Limerick. Beirigí bua! Our Parent Association has cosistently and generously given of their time to run an afterschool swimming club every Friday for many years. This is essentially a springboard for greater engagement and a love of swimming. Third and Second Class will start their in-school 6 week swimming module in March. It’s an all-inclusive PE curricular strand. Tralee Sports Complex will have five coaches for both classes and all abilities (from the very hesitant to the super confident). They will all be carefully catered for and we are sure they will enjoy learning this life skill, as did our middle classes last year. Our P.Assoc have offered to pay for bus transport each week. So, it’s all go/swim! Míle buíochas daoibh go léir.
Ms Josephine Fearns, glided in today on a cloud, as proud as punch! Her after-school dancers won their Kerry competition handily/footliy! Three of her winning 8 stood proud today with their plaques. The Tae-Kwon Do gang enjoyed High Kick, Patterns and Sparring successes . Great hearts and skills, big and small! Finally, but not least, we had fantastic success in the Community Games Walking Race. That is probably one of the most specific athletic sports and can be notoriously difficult to deliver correctly and quickly! Comhgáirdeas libh go léir. Pride & Bród!
There will be a warm, heartfelt welcome to parents of new enrollees ’20/’21. Our Induction and Registration Night is always an informative evening and a great opportunity for parents to get an overview of our culture and ethos, initiatives, schedules, teaching and learning objectives, curriculum and lots of good hints! There will be opportunity to meet some staff and ask any questions in preparation for your child’s first day in ‘Big School’!
In a few short months, these Junior Infants will be graduating to Senior Infants. How time flies! We are really looking forward to welcoming our new Infants. Always a very exciting and joyful occasion. An important date for all involved, big and small: Friday,28th Aug. 2020!
Ryall’s Travel will open new bus routes to Caherleaheen NS from April. It will be available to pupils from local areas such as Manor, Ballyard, Castlemaine Rd. This service ticks a lot of boxes and will cut down on traffic congestion, driving and collection time, not to mention our daily carbon footprint. Sixth Class have been exploring transport in History and STEM. Some of these modes were used not so long ago. However, back then, walking and cycling were the normal means of transport to school for our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. They were the days!
Rinneamar crosanna do Lá Bríde sa halla, agus ár dtuismitheoirí ag cabhrú linn! Míle buíochas libh. Bhí an-trathnónana againn. Fr Dan arrived and blessed the crosses. The children in Second Class brought them to 10pm mass on Sunday to give to the congregation. Fr Dan will arrive tomorrow, in honour of St Blaise, for the blessing of our throats.
Cuireadh céad míle fáilte roimh Na Gaeil, go háirithe roimh Mr Paul agus Darragh Reen (iar-dhalta). Shúil siad ár ‘Hall of Fame’ agus fuair siad bualadh bos mór ónár ndaltaí agus múinteoirí! Mr Paul ,the eldest on the team and Darragh, the youngest, gave the whole school a night off homework. All the players spoke to the children and we are very grateful that they spent time with us! Well done, to all the panel and the whole club! All-Ireland Junior Football Club Champions 2020.
Ag fanacht le Mr Pól & foireann Na Gaeil….agus tháinig siad faoi dheireadh…… leis an gCorn 🙂“Ní aon obair bhaile agaibh!”
