We had two fantastic GAA matches in the last week.

Firstly, our girls GAA side took on Our Lady of Victories from Ballymun.

Our girls were narrowly defeated in a hugely competitive game. A strong team performance was illuminated by the performances of Ella Banikole, Jodie Grove and Kasey Barrett Doyle.

Secondly, our boys GAA side took on local rivals St. Fergals.

In a game that ebbed and flowed we scored a late point to secure a well-earned draw. A battling team performance was led by Artiom Travkin in goal, Leon McLaren and Ben O Hara in defence and Rhys Boyd and Jayden Paget up front.

St Malachy’s choir visited Ardmore Nursing home on Wednesday to sing Christmas carols and chat to the residents.  We received a warm welcome from the residents and really enjoyed our visit.

We are very proud of all our pupils in St Malachy’s who participated in Santry this year.  

A meeting will be held in the school on Friday May 4th at 9 am to discuss impact of teacher allocation from the Department of Education for next year’s classes.

The children of 6th class celebrated their confirmation yesterday in St Oliver Plunkett’s Church.  Fr Paddy, the Rivermount parish priest, officiated the sacrament.  

A huge thank you to the children who put a lot of hard work leading up to the confirmation.  Their hard work and effort were rewarded yesterday, as they celebrated their special day together.

We would like to thank the choir for giving up their Saturday to take part in the day.  A special thanks, also to Fr Paddy, Cissy, Rita and the rest of the parish team.
