Ty Christmas Trip
School Variety Concert
Our School Variety Concert made a welcome return again this Christmas, on December 15th and 16th in the fabulously refurbished Island theatre. It’s been 5 years since our last concert, and the students and staff made a massive effort to make this year’s shows a reality.
We had almost 700 audience members watch three different shows with over 200 performers. A great success.
Massive thanks to all the staff and students who took part in any way; to the Island Theatre for hosting the shows, and to all our wonderful local sponsors who sponsored so many very generous spot prizes for the raffles.
Senior Boys Senior C Championship

Our Senior Boys have got off to a great start in the Senior C Connacht Championship this year. They had to play two group games, winning both and have now qualified for the knock-out stages to be played after Christmas.
The first game was an away game against Coola and came away with a hard fought victory on a scoreline of 4-10 to 3-9.
The second was a local derby against St Claires Manorhamilton in Aughnasheelin. With the team losing by 2 points at half-time, they put in a hard working and clinical performance in the second half to win on a score of 2-11 to 3-5. Well done lads and coach Mr Nolan.
