Christmas Greeting

On Friday 13th December the 2nd year students enjoyed a Coláiste Christmas breakfast.  They ate, laughed, and then completed by a quiz - compered by MC Mr Ó Súilleabháin.  It was a throughly successful morning!  A big thanks to all the teachers who got involved with the organisation. 

Well done to our boys U19 soccer team on their excellent 4-0 victory over Scoil Ruain, Killenaule. In a rematch of last years Munster final, the boys performed superbly in a great team perfomance, with Zack Mannas opening the scoring with first half penalty.
