Connaught Indoor Athletics

On the 24^th of April, a squad of 30 athletes represented St Nathy's at the Connaught Indoors Competition held in TUS Athlone. This was a participatory event, affording the opportunity to 1st,2nd and TY students to experience competing in an athletics event, at one of Ireland's best indoor athletics facilities. The events on offer were the shot put, long jump, and high jump. 600m, 60m and 4 x 200m relay. We had a fantastic day in Athlone, and we are so proud of each one of our students, who put themselves forward - stepped out of their comfort zone to try something new.  

The students looked fantastic in what was our first outing in our new athletics singlets- which gave them a boost of confidence and let all other schools and spectators know who we were!

 We were represented in every event, with some really standout performances- Meabh Lavin ran a very well calculated and strategic 600m race and placed first with a time of 1:52, with second placed athlete coming in 4 seconds behind her!Gordan Casey also ran a very smart and fast 600m race placing third in the TY category with a time of 1:38. Grace Henry has found a new athletic strength in the shot put, placing 3^rd with a distance of 6.92m.We also had 3^rd place success for both our 2^nd yr boys and 1^st yr girls 4 x 200m relay. We hope that this opportunity has ignited interest in the students in joining athletics, and made them aware that it's fun to try new things!

TY Fashion Show……a ‘runway’ success

A great night’s entertainment was had by all on Thursday the 20^th April. There were many weeks of planning and preparation that led up to this night. We were delighted to see so many staff, students, past and present, along with friends and family in attendance. TY student Eva Higgins was the compere for the evening which was a wonderful mix of fashion and music. The theme of the evening was sustainability with all the clothes sourced locally in charity shops or from sustainable sources. The fashion show was broken into a variety of sections ranging from Spring/Summer wear, sportswear, evening wear finishing up with Junk Koture. This section highlighted the wonderful creativity and imagination of our students in upcycling everyday materials many of which would otherwise have ended up in landfill to create some truly wonderful costumes.

There was a musical intermission between each fashion segment where students from 1^st year to leaving cert entertained the audience with everything from traditional Irish music, Sean nós dancing, singing and piano recitals. This highlighted the wonderful musical talent of our students.

The evening was concluded with a raffle which would not have been possible without the generous donations of our sponsors. Sincere thanks must go to the TY coordinator Ms Staunton and all of the teachers involved in the preparation of the event. To the music teachers Ms Sheridan & Ms Kielty and all who helped on the door on the night.
