Welcome to Scoil Barra!

As you all may know our Camogie team is getting ready to contest the Sciath na Scol final on Monday next.

The girls got a surprise visit this morning from one of Cork’s greatest sportsmen!

Seán Óg Ó hAilpín visited our Camogie panel and gave the girls and their coaches Miss Smyth, Miss Coffey and Mr Ó Súilleabháin some words of inspiration and encouragement!!

Please come and support our girls on Monday next, the 31st of May. The match will be in Pairc Ui Rinn at 12.30. Wear your Navy and Blue! Bring the Banners! All supporters very welcome!!

Tag rugby was the sport of the day on Thursday the 27th of May with 5th and 6th class competing in our school blitz.

The focus on the day was on good conduct, good sportsmanship and teamwork.

Matt Mc Grath and his two assistants, Richard and Shane, refereed 18 very exciting matches on the day.

Team F from Mister Leen’s class were the winners on the day.

Team J from Miss O’ Connell’s class took the Fair Play award for their class.

Naomi Mata won player of the tournament, for her great skills, good conduct, good sportmanship and teamwork.

Well done everyone!

Congratulations to the girls in the Camogie team who are on their way to the Sciath na Scol finals on May 31st at 12.30pm. They will be playing Ballinspittle in the final.

Good Luck Girls!!!

Our Scoil Barra girls  recently won the Cork section of FAI 5-a-side Primary Schools Soccer competition held in Turner’s Cross.

The girls represented us proudly on the day by displaying great team spirit and by winning their 3 matches convincingly.

They now go on to represent Cork in the Munster final in Waterford on May 12th. Best of luck to the girls and their super-coaches Mr. Dwyer and Ms. Galvin!

Tag rugby is one of the newest sports to Scoil Barra!

Matt McGrath, Munster Youth Development Officer, has been working with some of our classes every week and we have really enjoyed our sessions.

Some of the children from 5th and 6th class have also been training after school with Miss Doherty, Miss Clifford, Miss Lehane, Rose Derham and John O’ Flynn.

Our tag rugby panel of boys and girls from 5th and 6th class proudly represented us at the County Tag Rugby Blitz in Tanner Park, Ballincollig on the 22nd of April. A great time was had by all on a day where the emphasis was on sportmanship, fair play, good conduct and fun!

Well done to our footballers who qualified for the finals of Sciath na Scol last Monday. The boys will be busy training in preparation for the game in November.

35 athletes from Scoil Barra are looking forward to competing in Cork County School Sports in Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Wednesday the 30th of September.
