Congratulations to our 5th/6th Girls Football Team, who won their three matches yesterday in the Carrigdhoun Sciath na Scol Football Blitz. All girls played to the best of their ability, and showed great sportsmanship towards the opposing teams. 
We traveled to Tracton G.A.A. Grounds in nearby Minane Bridge by car, with the help of some of our parents. We played St. Marys, Minane Bridge and Crosshaven. We are delighted with how we played, and with the fantastic win. Many thanks to Anthony and Mr. Wright for the training they have done with us this year. Best of luck to our Boys Team in their Blitz tomorrow!

Our senior boys and girls football teams met with Kinsale Gaelscoil in Kinsale today at 11.30. Both teams played to their best  and showed their talent and true sportmanship .  Ms Mc Carthy, Mrs Wright , Mr Lyons and I were proud of our teams. We encourage you to join in your local GAA club in the new season. Go n-eirí an t-ádh libh amárach i Shanagarry. 

Last Thursday, October 1st, the Sciath na Scol team, comprising of  pupils from 5th and 6th Class, traveled to Cobh, to play against Walterstown N.S. We were very proud of both the girls and boys teams, who played to the best of their ability and displayed great team skills. Our next match takes place on Wednesday October 7th versus Kinsale Gaelscoil, followed by an away match against Shanagarry N.S. on Thursday October 8th. Scoil Naomh Eltin Abú!

Our fifth class students are entering  the BT Young Scientist competition this year. it is the first time that Scoil Naomh Eltin are taking on this exciting project. The girls and boys in fifth class have been investigating the Commogue Marsh particularly in light of the immense change in this area in the past 10 -15 years. Where once there were fields  there are now hundreds of houses.  These houses border on the Marsh and we are fascinated at how life goes on in the Marshland in spite of such change.  We are closely monitoring the marsh and investigating the life there in.
