Active Flag 2023
Since September, the active schools committee has worked very hard in ensuring we
become a fit and healthy school. They have organised events, challenges, and activities over
the past few months for the whole school. Their efforts have been rewarded as they helped
our school obtain an active schools flag. We officially raised our flag on June 12 th with the
help of local GAA representatives Séamus Stritch, Sheila Thompson, and Seán O’Gorman.
Thank you to everyone for their hard work and support in making our school a healthy and
happy place.
GAA and other sports
The school participates in a variety of GAA activities such as Football, Ladies Football, Hurling and Camogie. We take part in competitions in the North Cork area. We also compete in the Indoor hurling competitions from 3rd to 6th class. Pat Spratt, Cork GDA, also coaches in the school throughout the year. There is training throughout the year for all children from 3rd to 6th class.
Camogie
Since the beginning of the school year, the girls have enjoyed numerous opportunities for camogie skill development both in school and with the help of outside coaches Pat Spratt and Kathleen O’Brien. The girls have also been training every Tuesday for the past term in preparation for upcoming indoor camogie competitions. The Milford NS Camogie team are eager to put their skills into action for the big day!
School Camogie Champions 2023
Well done to our school camogie team who won the Sciath na Scoil 7 aside final held
recently in Mallow GAA Complex. The girls overcame a hard fought battle to beat Araglin
and lift the cup. We are extremely proud of the girls effort over the past year and the work
they have put in. Well done girls!
Rugby
We have had the pleasure of having Aidan Sheehan from
Munster Rugby in to coach all the children in the school this year.
These lessons have been enjoyed hugely by the children.
Rugby Blitz 2023
Gymnastics
All children are completing a 5-week gymnastics programme in our local hall with Mary. The children are bending over backwards with enthusiasm for P.E
Active Week
Each year we host a very successful and enjoyable Active Week in the school, usually in the month of June. This year we have a variety of coaches that will take the children for classes throughout the week. We have tennis, yoga, rugby, hurling, athletics and dance instructors coming and we also have an eagerly anticipated sports day.
Cork City Sports
This is one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the school calendar each year. We have a very successful history in the event over many years. The event is held in early June each year and schools from all over the country send their competitors to the race. We send children from all classes if they qualify in the trials. It is an event that gives the children lasting memories if they are fortunate enough to qualify.
