• Welcome back to all of our students and especially to our new 1st year group who we are looking forward to getting to know over the next few weeks and months! The extra curricular options in Our Lady's our endless so please do make sure you get involved in something as it is a super way to make new friends and learn something along the way!
• HOCKEY
• The build up to our hockey season began in late July when we welcomed the minor, Junior and Senior students back for some pre season training. The numbers were fantastic over the four weeks and it gave us an opportunity to arrive back to school a step ahead of ourselves in the build up to the leagues, which will begin at the end of September. We covered physical, technical and tactical work over the phase and we have seen massive benefit in this now for the last two summers we have done it. Well done to all who made it along to the sessions!
• This week saw the return of after school hockey training and we have had great energy all week long. The coaches are busy working out the teams and we will continue inter squad games this weekend before we begin to play friendly matches against some other schools in the build up to the start of the league season.
• CRICKET
• A massive congratulations to Sarah Prendergast who had a busy sunmer of cricket. Sarah was selected for the Ireland U15 squad who travelled for matches in Malvern and off the back of some strong performances, Sarah is set to trial for the World Cup squad in 2025. Congratulations Sarah, a brilliant achievement!
