Today we celebrated Ireland’s 50th year as a member of the EU. 3rd-6th class learned the EU anthem “Ode to Joy” and after our eldest pupil, Diarmaid, raised our new EU flag, we played the anthem on our instruments. Well done to all the pupils involved.

The boys and girls from 5th6th class did the school very proud in April playing exceptionally at the Hub In Castlerea. The girls won their division on the day and qualified for the next round. They now play two games on Thursday 4th May to qualify for the county semi finals. We wish them the best of luck.

The boys from 5th and 6th class won out the regional blitz on the first day. They qualified for the county final blitz on Friday 28th April. The boys drew top of their group having to play a 5min play off with another school to reach the county final game. Unfortunately we came up short losing the game 1-0. The Boys did very well and were very proud of them.

The pupils from 4th-6th class represented Carrick NS today at the regional 3/4 teacher schools competition. It was a very special occasskon playing in the dome in Bekan, the Connacht centre of excellence. The boys won all three games and the girls qualified in the end on a penalty shoot out. Both teams now qualify for the quarter final of the Cumann na mBunscol competition.
