Our P5 pupils recently took part in the Basketball Blitz at Lisburn Racquets, and what an exciting day it was! Both our boys’ and girls’ teams played outstanding basketball, showcasing fantastic teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the tournament.

The girls’ team faced a tough opening match against Holy Trinity but bounced back brilliantly with an excellent win over Pobal Feirste. In the play-offs, they met Holy Trinity again and demonstrated incredible improvement, pushing the eventual Cup winners to the limit in a nail-biting game that ended with Holy Trinity edging ahead by just one basket. A superb effort from the girls!

The boys’ team dominated the Boys’ Cup from start to finish, winning all their matches in style. The final came down to sudden death, and with nerves of steel, the boys secured victory with a fantastic basket that sealed their triumph. What an achievement!

A huge well done to all our players for their determination, skill, and sportsmanship. You made us proud! Also, a big thank you to all the parents who accompanied us, and for Richard our basketball coach for preparing the boys and girls so well.

The Mini Wellbeing Champions met last week for the first time with Miss Houston. They discussed the upcoming ‘World Mental Health Day’ and the importance of looking after our minds as well as our bodies. We discussed the concept of personalised ‘Smile Lists’ to support with mental wellbeing and the Mini Wellbeing Champions designed their own ‘Smile List’ to model to the rest of the class on Friday 10^th October for World Mental Health Day. Miss Houston also reminded the Mini Wellbeing Champions to lead the Mindful Minute each day using the visual in their classes. Well done on your new roles, Mini Wellbeing Champions!

Good luck to St Ita's boys who are taking part in the first round of the Autumn League today!
