Arts/Active week: This week is jammed packed full of drummers, artists, Sports coaches, dancers, tug of war ropes and bouncy castles. This promises to be an amazing week for all the children in the school. We will have drumming performances on the yard on the Monday and Tuesday morning before school and everyone is welcome to come and see them. We will have Sport’s Day on the Friday and the parents are invited to come and see the races at 1.15. If you wish to take your children early that day, please sign them out as normal.

Athletics: Congratulations to everyone involved in the County Track and Field finals in Finn Valley last week. We had 16 qualifiers from the school who represented Inisowen with pride.

Camogie: Last Monday the St. Aengus Camogie team were crowned county Champions when we overcame Dromore N.S. in the final. The team were led by team Captain Allanah Curran. They were an exceptional team and we wish them well when they go to Féile with Burt GAA in the hurling stronghold of Galway to represent Donegal.
