Well done to pupils in St Ita’s! We raised £2301.16 for Trocaire this year. This was raised through non uniform days, toy and book sales and a movie afternoon. The money raised will support rural communities in Odisha, Eastern India. Many Thanks for your support. Suzanne from Trocaire was presented with the cheque by P4 pupils
Last weekend Carryduff U12's became Down U12 Hurling League Division 2 Champions. Congratulations to St Ita's pupils, Daniel, Peter, Darragh, Joseph and past pupil Sean along with all the other members of the team on such a fabulous achievement.
St Ita’s Primary 5 Soccer Team participated in the first ever Cregagh Community 6-a-side Competition. This tournament was organised by Castlereagh Council in an attempt to establish positive relationships between local schools. St Ita’s, St Bernard’s, Cregagh and Braniel served up a feast of football with some wonderful young talent on show. The boys won two and drew two of their 4 games. The day was a huge success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all the boys involved.
St. Ita's Sports Evening was held on a beautiful sunny, but at times cool, evening at Loughmoss Leisure Centre. Conditions underfoot were a bit soft but this did not deter pupils in any way.
A new format was introduced this year with the emphasis on fun and participation for all the girls and boys. Judging by the amount of laughter and smiles on the faces of pupils and parents, the new format seems to have been a big hit.
Thank you to boys and girls, parents and St. Ita's staff who made the evening such a great success. A special word of thanks to Mr. Close for all his great work in organising this fabulous event! Please see the Sports Evening photo gallery in Latest News Documents.
St. Ita’s Gaelic Football team continued their great form with a fantastic victory over local rivals, St. Joseph’s with a scoreline of 4-7 to 3-8 in the County Down Cumman Na mBunscoil league on Thursday 9th May. The boys put in a tremendous effort and worked together as a team to overcome very strong opponents. Well done to all the boys who have been picked to represent St. Ita’s so far this season. We have now won our first 3 games of the league, with victories over St. Michael’s and Our Lady and St. Patrick’s, Downpatrick. St. Ita's will next play Castlewellan, knowing a victory will guarantee a place in the quarter finals. Good luck boys!
As many of you will know, our Craft Fair on Saturday was another massive success. Families and friends came along in huge numbers and supported this wonderful event, and the weather was great, it stayed lovely and dry... except for our male volunteers, who got very wet at the Sponge the Staff game.... It proved to be very popular!! There was a fantastic happy atmosphere all day.
Check out the PTFA page or see Latest News Documents for some photos of the day.
After costs we raised a fabulous £3,175.00!!!!
This figure was well beyond our expectations and it would not have been possible without all your support.
The PTFA would like to say an enormous thank you to all who attended and supported the day, all who donated prizes for the Tombola and Ballot and to our extra helpers who gave up their time to assist.
