• St. Ita's Gilrls are Soccer Stars!

  Sun 13 May 2018

  St. Ita's Gilrls are Soccer Stars!

  On Friday evening (11th May) the St. Ita's Girls soccer team attended the Inaugural Rosario Girls Fooitball Tournament and what a special evening it proved to be. The girls played four matches and won three; they lost their final match by a solitary goal. However, that didn't matter because the girls had such a wonderful evening and enjoyed every minute of the tournament. I was absolutely amazed by the wonderful skills on display and the sense of teamwork. I am sure we will be hearing so much more about these girls in the years ahead! I would like to thank Cara, Eilidh, Mia, Nicole, Anna D, Rachel, Julie, Bella and Anna M for providing me with an evening to remember.

  The hour-long workshop will help you understand your child’s online world, build confidence to have those important conversations that can help keep him/her safe online and help you know where to go for help and advice.

  St Ita’s first foray into basketball took place at the Northern Ireland Primary Schools Easter Blitz on Wednesday 28^th of March at Queens PEC. A mixed boys and girls team gelled together brilliantly right from the off and had resounding victories over Park Lodge PS, St. Mary’s Star of the Sea PS, Our Lady’s PS and Victoria PS on their way to winning the competition and lifting the trophy. A past pupil of St. Ita’s, Emma Cooney, helped coach the team. The team was Conor Boyle, John Connor, Ellie Sergeant, Cara Cassin, Maeve Cassidy and Eimear Napier. Special mention goes to Cara who was awarded the team allstar award at her first attempt at basketball. Well done boys and girls.
