C.D. Launch.

The evening of March 23^rd 2012 will be a date our girls will remember for quite some time. On that date, our recently recorded C.D. was launched by Cork born soprano, Cara O Sullivan, in the presence of Mr. Simon Coveney, T.D., Minister for Agriculture, Food, and Tourism, Mr Jerry Buttimer, T.D., the Deputy Lord Mayor, Cllr. Tony Fitzgerald and a hall filled with parents and friends of Scoil an Spioraid Naoimh. The proceeds from the sale of the C.D. will go to the R.N.L.I.  See our Gallery page for pictures of the evening.

Cór Fhéile na Scol.

Our Junior Band entertained the audience of the City Hall on Tuesday, March 27^th as they participated in Cór Fhéile na Scol. They played beautifully under the direction of Bean Uí Bhriain and were accompanied by Iníon Ní Choileáin.

Set Dancing

Over a four  week period, during March and April a series of Set Dancing workshops is taking place for the boys and girls of Scoil an Spioraid Naoimh. Each week the boys and girls from third to sixth classes team up and work through the sections of the Caledonian Set under the direction of their Comhaltas Dance Teacher.

Cork International Choral Festival

At present, our school choir are working hard rehearsing for their forthcoming participation in the Choral Festival. They sound beautiful and we wish the choir and their director, Bean Uí Bhriain, the very best.

Sports Update

Bean Toibín,  Iníon Ní Choileáin and their camogie teams are very busy at present preparing for a series of Sciath na Scol matches.  We have some very dedicated players who also attend club training in their local G.A.A.

In addition, girls are involved in the preparations for the Parks Tennis Tournament as well as the Munster Schools Tennis Tournament. We look forward to these events and wish our teams well. Cork Primary Schools City Sports in now drawing close and we will have girls from Senior Infants to Sixth Class participating in Pairc Ui Chaoimh at the end of May. Keep up the running, girls!
