Junior & Senior Infants would like to wish all our Mammy’s a very happy Mother’s Day!
Enjoy your special day.
Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign that delivers gifts straight into the hands of children affected by poverty. Often these shoebox gifts are the only gift that a child will receive at Christmas and the joy that they bring is incredible. Thanks so much to everyone for your support of this very worthy cause.
First and Second class had a fantastic time on their School Tour to Lough Key Forest Park. They took part in the “Boda Borg” quests.
On a mission to solve quests, the children were split up into groups. They chose the quest they wanted to solve and their aim was to work together as a team in the hope of getting a stamp at the end. The quests were challenging both physically and mentally but not for the boys and girls of Gortskehy N.S!
Back in School first and second class did a fantastic job of writing up a recount all about their School Tour.
Following the completion of our 3G pitch last week we’re delighted to welcome David Hughes @garrymoregaa for training on Tuesdays. All pupils will benefit from a GAA training programme in the coming weeks with inter-school competitions expected to resume in March.

We have had a great 6 weeks of handball here in Gortskehy, led by Tim Foley of Tourmakeady Handball Club.
Handball is an all inclusive sport, where anyone of any ability can play. It incorporates lots of our fundamental movement skills, such as catching, throwing, side stepping, running, balance and striking with the hand. It also enables children to develop other skills such as hand-eye coordination and concentration.
We were very lucky as we got to go to Ballinrobe Handball Alley to see a handball match. We also got to play in a 40×20 alley. It was a wonderful experience for the children to see a real alley and have the opportunity to play there.
We would like to thank Tim Foley for being so generous with his time over the past few weeks and giving the children the opportunity to try a new sport.
Well done everyone.
Wow!
