Huge congrats to the U15 boys rugby team who won their first round match in this years Cleary cup.

The U15 team took on Killmallock in their first league game of the season on Friday. Both teams were equally matched and it was expected to be a tough game for St. Anne’s. Joseph McEvoy captained the team and lead by example scoring a brilliant try after consistent attacking by St. Anne’s. Joseph converted his own try. Killmallock were back on the attack moments later with a few great breaks from their full back. The teams had to both work hard to make aany ground. Great individual effort by Dylan McMahon saw St. Anne’s go over for their second try. Killmallock however piled on the pressure with the half time whistle looming but St. Anne’s held strong to deny them the score. Half time score 12-0 to St. Anne’s.

The pace of the game never wavered as both sides continued to attack each others try line. Joseph McEvoy broke through the defence to score under the posts with Conor Power securing the conversion. McEvoy went on to score a total of 5 tries leading his side to a comprehensive 36-5 victory.

 

Well done to all the players and their coaches Ciaran Sheedy, Felim Tuite, Jack Lynch and Marc Loughran. Well done to Cian O’Donnell lines man for the game.

“Santa, all I want for Christmas is Critical Thinking”

DSCN3123

St. Anne’s was wrapped up critical thinking as the Christmas term came to a close this morning. The race was on with scenes of students frantically working on Christmas anagrams and dingbats.

Students had to organise themselves into groups to solve sets of problems with speed and efficiency and then race to the final destination for their prize.

Competition was high as St. Anne’s top critical thinkers vied for pole position with the 3rd years winning top prize for their speed, co-ordinated efforts and strategic approach.

Well done to all the students and teachers involved for being part of the spirit of Critical Thinking.

A special thank you to Ms. Hartigan and all her TY elves.

Friday 18th of December, Christmas came early fro the transition year students involved with the Bank of Ireland school bank. The ten members of the school bank along with ten other members of transition year travelled to the Bank of Ireland branch in Castletroy where they entertained the customers with a wide selection of Christmas carols. The music filled the bank and created a heart warming Christmas spirit to all who came into the branch and for all the people working. A big thank you to the Bank of Ireland for affording us the chance to fundraise for the transition year charities and in particular for the Missionvale project.

Thank you to Ms. Hartigan and to Ms. Ryan for preparing the students so well and accompanying them.

The St. Anne’s AIB build a bank team together with the St. Anne’s Trad group performed for the customers today in the Killaloe Branch of AIB for the annual AIB Customer Day. The day was a great success with the music flowing out into the street encouraging all to come into the bank. The trad group played a mixture of both Christmas carols and traditional Irish music which went down a treat while the transition year students worked as customer support.

Thank you to Ms. Shortt for preparing the Trad group and Mr. O’Brien for helping the Build a Bank team.
