On the 1st of June, St Finbarrs boys took to C.I.T for the Cork City Sports. All boys did a super job on the day in the sweltering heat! They did the school proud with two boys winning first place and one third place in their categories .
The soccer League is a competition for the Junior students during lunch times. The rings league for junior students and the table tennis league for the senior students both run during the second term throughout the school day as an active break or reward. The Rings and Table Tennis Final will take place during Active Week from the 17th-24th of June.
Every year the school tour is organised with physical activity in mind. Last year we went to the Let’s Go Camp in Cork and this year we are going to Star Outdoors in Kenmare. An outdoor centre with many activities including archery, team challenges, kayaking, pedal boating, mountain biking and much more.
The Donal Walsh Blitz was held last year in aid of the Donal Walsh Foundation. The boys in 6th class were so inspired by his story that they wanted to make a difference and contribute to the charity. Schools around the Bantry area were invited to participate in the football blitz on the school grounds and each participant gave 2 Euro to the charity. Finbarr Walsh, Donal’s dad was also there on the day to celebrate. The blitz will be held again this year during Active School Week.
