Roscommon school delighted to reach All Ireland Quiz Final
A County Roscommon school will be taking part in the prestigious Credit Union All Ireland Quiz Final this weekend.
Ballybay Central National School in Kiltoom is having a busy and productive year, marked by several notable achievements across academics, sports and the arts, said Principal Arthur Geraghty.
After performing exceptionally well in the regional qualifying rounds, the school's junior quiz team of Réiltín, Annabel, Daithí and Eve will be traveling to the RDS in Dublin on Sunday to represent the school on a national stage, an accomplishment that reflects the hard work and preparation of both the pupils, teachers and parents.
The school's choir will perform alongside the St Brigid’s Community Choir at the St Brigid’s GAA Centre this Saturday. This collaboration offers the students a great chance to participate in a local musical event.
On the athletic front, the FAI's 5-a-side boys' soccer team has progressed successfully and will compete in the County Final in Lecarrow this month. The other teams – girls’ and boys’ – played with passion and narrowly missed out.
Elsewhere, the school’s environmental efforts continue as it works towards its 12th Green Flag. These are supported by a wide range of activities ongoing in the school. These include our orchestra thanks to Music Generation, Trash Fash recycling to design, Lá Glas, Active Flag activities, concerts, cross country running, to mention but a few.
