Congratulations to the boys from Mr. Early & Ms. Scully's 6th class who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Thursday 2nd June in St. Brigid's Church.  Thank you to Fr. Liam who celebrated the mass. It was a very special occasion for all involved.

On Monday 30th May a group of athletes from St. Brigid’s 5^th & 6^th classes were chosen to travel to Santry’s Athletics Competition.

These boys were:

Jamie Moore                                   Daniel Lawless

Niko Lokobauer                               Odhran Farren

Finn Counsel                                  Eoin Fitzgerald

Nathan Fielding                              Eoghan Nugent

Liam Kearns                                   Ciaran Helly

Conor Tynan                                  David Beldean

The boys participated in a range of athletic competitions such as sprints, long distance races, shot put, long jump, high jump and team relay races.

All of the boys showed excellent sportsmanship in their chosen event!  Well done!

We would like to say special congratulations to our 2 medal winners – Nathan Fielding who came 3^rd in the long jump and Liam Kearns who came 3^rd in the shot put.

A very enjoyable day was had by all

Sometimes when you nod off at night wonderful dreams float around your head, as if the BFG himself, planted them there. Wonderful thoughts that light up the darkest of nights. Imagining you are Stephen Cluxton landing that epic winning 45 or Lar Corbett fist pumping after completing a magical hat trick to down the Cats. Playing in Croke Park is a dream. A dream that rarely comes to fruition. A dream that is for the superstars of our Gaelic Games. For our senior hurling team, that dream is their reality.

This Wednesday, the 8^th June, all paths lead to Croke Park as our boys from 5^th and 6^th class look to bring the Corn Uí Néill trophy back to Killester. This monumental achievement is one that will live long in the memories. Many have gone to watch amazing spectacles in Croke Park, few have graced the hallowed turf.

At 2.20pm on Wednesday, our own will take to the field against Gaelscoil Bhrian Bóroimhe, with the winner taking home the spoils. Whatever happens on the day we are so immensely proud of all our hurlers. What an incredible group they are to have gotten the school this far. We will wear the orange and black of St. Brigid’s with pride and lose our voices in shouting on our school mates. We ask parents to come along and support us like you always have. It is immensely appreciated and we, as a school community, know that such days cannot happen without this unwavering support of parents and guardians.

Best wishes to all the boys and mentors involved. You guys are the ones who we all look up to. You guys make dreams a reality!!
