• School Council Election Day!

  Tue 13 Nov 2018

  Today was an exciting day for St Colman’s Primary School as we held our 2018/19 school council election.

  Children from P4-P7 gathered in the hall to witness history as children running for election took to the podium and presented their peers with their manifestos promising things like a cleaner school, more school trips and of course KFC.

  Each child had the opportunity to vote in their individual voting booths ensuring that their votes would not be compromised or copied. Our trusted ballot box security guard Sean McDonnell of Mrs. Toland’s class made sure that each child’s vote was safely registered.

  We look forward to announcing our school council this year and will keep you up to date with any further announcements in what is shaping up to be 2018’s most memorable election.

• Irish Dancing World Championships

  Fri 09 Mar 2018

  Our Irish dancing School, Carson Kennedy, went to the World Championships in March 2017 and came first place in a dance drama.

   

  The world championships is the biggest Irish dancing competition and is open to all Irish dancers around the world.

   

  A dance drama is an Irish dance that you use your hands and feet to make a story through act Andy dance. Everyone dresses up in a costume and props are used in the background. Our dance schools drama was called 'Sister Margaret Mary.' It is about a poor lady and her son, who rob a wealthy man and all the townsfolk have a nosie in. In the end they go to jail and everyone is happy. It took place in Dublin.

   

  We won a First Place World Globe Trophy. It is every dancers dream to win the world and we achieved it at a very young age, as a group.

• St Colman's win League title

  Thu 26 Oct 2017 Mr Kernan

  In an enthralling league final St Colman’s beat St Michael’s by a single point after extra time. The teams were closely matched and, in truth, no team deserved to lose.

   

  The match was end to end from the first minute to the last. RTÉ pundit, Joe Brolly, presented the trophy to winning captains; Dylan Stitt and Joshua Walsh and later tweeted that ‘it was a hugely enjoyable game with not a backward pass from start to finish.’

   

  St Colman’s got off to a flying start with early goals from Jude Johnson, Niall May and Ethan Walsh and a point from Dylan Stitt but St Michael’s quickly settled in to their stride with a goal and five points to their credit to leave them just two points behind at the interval.

   

  The second half began with high intensity from both teams and it continued like that throughout. St Michael's continued to threaten the St Colman's goal but excellent defence from Luis Keenan, Adam Irwin, Odhran Donnelly and Aaron Flynn.  Superb goalkeeping from Jay Ward always helped to keep St Michael's at bay. Jude Johnson continued to score throughout the half and finished with 3-5 on the day. St Michael's continued to pepper the St Colman's goal and came back to take the lead and only for some fantastic saves from Jay Ward they would have gone further in front. Good support play from Hugh Wilson and Siobhan O'Connell lead to a superb Luke Campbell goal late on brought a breathless second half to a close with both teams still level.

   

  Extra time saw St Colman's take an early lead with Dylan Stitt capping a man of the match performance with three quick points as St Colman's looked to be on their way to victory. Jude Johnson added to the lead but in the second period a great save from the St Michael's goalkeeper followed by a quick break away goal left just a point between the teams. Some last ditch defending from Ethan Walsh, Ben Doran and Joshua Walsh St Colman's held on for a narrow win that left players, supports and mentors exhausted but proud of the efforts of all of the children.

   

  St Colmans' Squad: Jay Ward, Adam Irwin, Odhran Donnelly, Hugh Wilson, Siobhán McGurk, Aaron Flynn, Jude Johnson, Joshua Walsh, Dylan Stitt, Luke Campbell, Niall May, Ben Doran, Luis Keenan, Ethan Walsh
