Tomorrow is our “Neurodiversity Celebration Day!” We have a very active Neurodiversity Group in our school, who along with Miss Smith, have been planning a very special celebration for the whole school to enjoy. They have created an amazing informative Slideshow that they will present to classes over the next couple of days. Our local Neurodiversity group @neurodiversity_irp have set up an incredible sensory space in the school hall for our girls to experience, Shauna from @danspire_fitness is going to be hosting her spectacular silent disco for all classes to enjoy, and Cameron from @faireland will be facilitating inclusive football - showing our girls how to play football in a different way! Everyone is encouraged to wear the rainbow tomorrow, and let your personality shine through! We can’t wait! ❤️💛🧡💚💙🩷💜
To top it off, as if the day couldn’t get any better, former student Abbie Larkin arrived to present medals to our 6th Class Girls. Abbie is a hero in the eyes of all students in our school. She is an international footballer, who represents her family, her community and her country so well. Our girls can see what hard work, determination (and an amazing talent!!) can achieve. Abbie is a real-life Superhero to so many kids in Ringsend, and we really appreciate her taking time out of her hectic schedule to come back and visit her old school. Thank you Abbie - you are a legend 💚 #hero #rolemodel
The Senior Races were up next. The emphasis is still on fun… but it’s a little more competitive from 3rd Class up!! We have some seriously fast runners coming up the ranks. Was great to get to see them strut their stuff! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃‍♀️Sportsday #summer #
The Junior Classes enjoyed their sprints today. The emphasis is on participation and fun! As you can see from their faces… Mission accomplished!! 🙌🏽 #Sportsday #Ringsend #summerfun
We had so much fun in the sun at our Sports Day today! Everyone worked so well together in their teams, and it was lovely to see girls so supportive of each other! ❤️ #SportsDay #Ringsend #ourgirls
We had our Sports Day in school today, and what a wonderful day we had! Thank you so much to the parents, grandparents and relations who came along to support the girls today. ❤️ #sportsday #summerfun
6th class had a fantastic tour to remember in Kilruddery today at @aliveoutside_ireland … they did bush crafts, made their own shelter, roasted marshmallows, completed obstacle courses, solved puzzles and took part in archery challenges… and all this while laughing, playing and minding each other! Their teamwork was amazing! Their teacher was so proud of them and delighted they enjoyed their final tour in primary school so much!
Our football team were in the FAI Primary Schools Final today. It was their third year in a row to reach the final, which is an unbelievable feat in itself! They played out of their skins, and dominated the game, for it to finish 0-0. They took on extra-time with the same determination and skill they exhibited in the game, and again, had most of the possession and were unlucky for that to end 0-0 too. Next came the penalties, and as anyone knows - penalties can go either way. Unfortunately it didn’t go our way today, and our girls were gutted to narrowly miss out on being crowned Champions. To us, however - they are Champions. They represented our school so well, played amazing football, and luck just wasn’t on their side today. For a large chunk of the team, it was their last chance as they are soon to graduate from our school, so understandably - it was an emotional day. In true Ringsend-style, after the match our girls were supported so well by their friends in their classes, their families, and a well-deserved guard of honour on their return to school. A HUGE well done to the team, their coaches Mr Feeney and Miss Smith and their families for supporting this journey. Hold those heads up high girls - we couldn’t be more proud of you! 💛💙💚 #Ringsend #SchoolsFinal #proudaspunch
A very special Afternoon Tea for our amazing “Cake Competition” winner from the School Bake Sale, along with her cherished guests! There was singing, dancing and a DELICIOUS spread. Huge thanks to our incredible Parent’s Association for putting this on! 🩷 #ourgirls
