Well done to Ruby who is currently in Lisbon, Portugal competing in the International Kenpo Karate Championships, representing Newbridge and Ireland.

She will be coming home with two silver medals in her categories and the club (Newbridge Kenpo Karate Academy) will be arriving home with over 200 medals combined. Keep up the great work.

Gaelic Football Training: We are very lucky to have availed of some last minute Gaelic Football training for our pupils in 1st, 2nd and 3rd Class from Eoin, one of the Moorefield GAA coaches. Eoin will facilitate 3 sessions in total which includes Monday, 20th and Monday, 27th. Pupils in these classes are asked to wear their school tracksuit on these days. This is a lovely opportunity for pupils in our younger classes to hone their Gaelic Football skills. Well done and thank you to all involved. 

​Well done to our 6th Class Tag Rugby team who took part in a school blitz on Wednesday 6th April! 

It was great to be back playing sport. Thanks to Newbridge Rugby Club for hosting it. We're really enjoying Sebastian's training every Friday. ​

Well done Levi who received a certificate for hard work with Newbridge FC.

We were delighted to welcome guest speakers from our local community into our school! They came to our assembly and spoke to the whole school about the activities and sports that they love. We really enjoyed having these speakers in to talk to us! Thank you!

Many children in Scoil Na Naomh Uilig are members of various different clubs in our community! As you can see from the pictures below some of children have been very successful in their local clubs - Irish Dancing, GAA - Gaelic Football and Camogie, Table Tennis, Soccer, Karate and many more.

In accordance with Kildare sports partnerships, Brendan came in to do some hurling and camogie with us. We really enjoyed it. It was great to get some extra advice and training to help us with our camogie skills for after schools activities.

A lot of children in Scoil Na Naomh Uilig are very active outside of school. Many children are members of local GAA, soccer,rugby and Irish dancing clubs in our community.
