It’s that time of year again when we do our annual collection for the Aoibhneas Women’s Centre in Coolock.

Food and Clothes and Toy Collection

Christmas is a happy time for most people but unfortunately not for everyone especially for women and children who need to make use of sheltered accommodation.  This will be the tenth year to run this collection and every year you have been extremely generous.  Thank You.

We realise that things have become tough for everyone but if you can, we are asking you to donate food such as pasta, rice, biscuits, packets of soup, canned food to the women’s refuge.

Other items that would be welcomed would be new children’s clothes and new toys.

There will be boxes inside the school underneath the Christmas Tree if you wish to send something in.

Christmas Cards

The 6^th class boys were and still are doing their bit the past few weeks making recycled Christmas cards.  These cards will be on sale from myself on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next couple of weeks.

The cards will cost 30c each.

All money raised will go to the women’s refuge.

A BIG THANK YOU to all the 6^th class boys and the Secondary School Shopkeepers for all their hard work .

Thanking you in advance for your continued support and generosity.

On the same day, the boys were lucky enough to get a visit from a former pupil and current under-21 Manchester City player, Jack Byrne. Jack patiently answered all of the boys’ questions and judging by some of them, there are definitely a few journalists in the making! He also posed for some photos. Jack is definitely a role model of how mixing talent with hard work and lots of practice is a recipe for success. We wish Jack all the best for the future and are very grateful to him for taking the time out to visit.

It was a very busy couple of weeks in Joeys. We had the First Holy Communion on Saturday 23rd May . The boys had a wonderful day and looked great in their suits.

We heard some sad news that our Principal, Ms. Fitzpatrick is resigning from her job. We will miss her and wish her well in the future.

SPORTS

It has being a great year for our hurlers.  They reached the final in Croke Park. The team is a young side, full of potential.The school will go to support them in the finals this Monday 8th June. Come on Joeys!!

The footballers sadly lost their match 5 -0.

Our school sent a team of athletes to the recent Athletics Championships in Santry. Well done to Adam Rowe who came third in the hurdles and earned himself a bronze medal. Hard luck to all the other boys who sadly missed out.

On Thursday, author Brian Gallagher visited the school. Brian’s books Across The Divide and Taking Sides have been chosen in the past for the One Book One Community Project.

Brian is involved in making a radio documentary for Newstalk. The documentary is about people who live in and around the dockland area. Three boys from Ms Quinlan’s 6th Class were chosen to speak to Brian and gave him plenty of stories about swimming in the canal,going to East Wall  water sports,going out to Howth for walks and going on the ships down at the docks

When Brian finished interviewing the three boys he told promised them that when the documentary is broadcast in Autumn,he would send the boys a copy of the interview on disk.

The boys got a great insight into the making of documentaries so watch this space …… we could have a number of future documentary makers on our hands.
