Mrs McKeown from our school office is moving on to new challenges in the world of work. We are incredibly sorry to see her go but happy that she is chasing her dreams. P7 pupils created some beautiful cards to present to her. Mrs Mckeown's two girls are pupils at St Ita's so she won't be a stranger!

The P7 pupils held their Award Ceremony this week. Congratulations to our Award winners and all of our fabulous P7 group. Good luck on your onward journey.

Our camogie team attended the Cumann na mBunscol Camogie Blitz on Monday. After some great performances in the seeding competition the girls were placed in division 1 alongside St Anne’s, Christ the Redeemer and St John the Baptist; all strong and well established camogie teams.

Our girls, many still in their first year or two of their camogie careers, displayed excellent determination throughout the games. They grew in confidence, battling hard for every ball and ensuring their opponents did not get any easy scores. Although the results did not go our way, the girls learnt a lot from the matches and should be proud of the improvements in their performances throughout the blitz. They linked well for some great team play and grew in confidence individually and as a group. Well done girls! You should be proud of how you played, many for the last time in the St Ita’s jersey.

Our camogie team enjoyed 3 competitive matches on Wednesday in the 11-a-side Cumann na mBunscol seeding blitz. A team of 15 girls travelled to St. Brigid’s, Musgrave Park and displayed excellent skills and determination on the pitch. The girls battled for every ball and are looking forward to the Championship coming up in June.
