The Tyrrelstown Cup – 2017

Message to the families:   

The boys of 5^th and 6^th class have been training

together as a team over the past two months.

They have brought a great attitude and commitment

to learn the sport of Gaelic football to each session,

while also bringing plenty of jokes and laughter which is

also very important. The Tyrrelstown Cup begins next

Thursday the 30^th of November and all family members are

more than welcome to come and watch the boys play.

Kind regards,

Mr Gibbons & Ms Flanagan.

The Tyrrelstown Cup – 2017

The first ever Tyrrelstown Cup for senior boys Gaelic football will commence on Thursday the 30^th of November. The competition will be made up of teams from the following schools:

-St Lukes National School

-Tyrrelstown Educate Together NS

-Saint Ciarans NS

-ScoilOilibhéir

Competition aims: To promote Gaelic games within the Dublin 15 area in a positive environment and to ensure as many children as possible are given the opportunity to take part.

Competition layout and rules are as follows:

Every team will play each other once with the top two teams going into the cup final and the teams who finish third and fourth going into the shield final. Medals will be given to the runners up teams from the cup and shield final. All games will be held at the same time and venue. Teams will consist of 15 players on the field at one time but there will be no limit to the amount of subs a team can make with the idea to give as many children game time. (Teams can organise between themselves if they want to play with fewer players) Games will consist of two halves of twenty minute periods. Referees, umpires and linesmen will be provided by St lukes NS. The venue for the games will be Tyrrelstown GAA playing field, situated in front of both St Lukes and Tyrresltown Educate together.

Dear parents,

Saint Luke’s National school is a Green School and this means that we are committed to lowering our energy emissions, recycling our waste and conserving our water usage.  We have found that the paper towels which are in each classroom are adding greatly to our waste and are not environmentally friendly. Following the example of other schools of similar size we are now asking each child bring their own small hand towel/face cloth to school every day in a sealable plastic bag to dry their hands when needed. We will be starting this new practice from Monday the 13^th of November.
