The Awards are a very special annual event where our sporting achievements are celebrated. I would like to take this time to sincerely thank my teaching colleagues who gave of their free time to promote our wide programme of sporting activities. I would like also to acknowledge our school management who wholeheartedly support sport in the school. We hope to see Michael Gibbs and Kevin O’ Brien, former PCS students, and members of the recent victorious U21 Dublin Gaelic Football team, tonight also. All our sports trophies from the year will be on display along with the Sam Maguire Cup, The McCarthy Cup and the Heineken Cup. Is ocáid thábtachach an oíche seo i saol na scoile agus tá súil agam go mbainfiadh cách taitneamh as an oíche”.

Well done to the athletes in Santry!

Best of luck to past-pupil Ryan O’ Shaughnessy in the final of Britain’s got Talent.

The school Athletics Team had a great day in Santry taking twenty-seven trophies. Some of the notable results were: Aisling Drumgoole won the Senior 200m., Liam Dinan finishing second in the 1500m. and Fintan O’Connor won the Senior 1500m. The Senior Girls relay-team came third. Every PCS relay-team that entered, made it to the final. The school was placed fifth overall. New members from all years are welcome to join the Athletics team in September.

Thanks to Ms. Malone and all the students who trained at 7.30AM most Friday mornings.

There are photos in the Photostream on the right from Santry, Europe Day, the Barnardos Cake-sale and the First-year History trip.
