A leithéid do lá a bhí againn! A huge go raibh míle to our handball partners in Modh Scoil Luimní and Ballina Handball for a return visit to Ballina Handball headquarters. Our supporters were greatly impressed. Epic battles fought indoors and outdoors. We look forward to a continuance of our partnership with our friends at Ballina Handball and in the Modh Scoil. An rud is annamh is iontach!

I ndiaidh a chéile a thógtar na caisleáin! Good things come to those who wait! After much scheduling and rescheduling headaches, a terrific interschools blitz was held between local schools with our friends and partners at Munster Rugby and Ballina Killaloe RFC. We are already looking forward next year to the rematches and rekindling some local rivalry!

How lucky are we to welcome back our friends and past pupils from Ballina Camogie Club and St. Anne's Community College TY students to coach our pupils from Senior Infants to Rang 3 during April! Members of our Active Committee in Rang 6 were on standby to lend a hand! Go raibh míle le gach duine!

Bhain na Ranganna 6 agus 4 úsáid iontach as an gcúirt leadóg láimhe i mBéal an Átha, le linn na míosa. We are very grateful to the Ballina Handball Club, for the kind use of their facilities. We look forward to other classes availing of the opportunity to acquire new skills and develop an appreciation for another of our national Gaelic sports, in the coming months.

We were delighted to host Marguerite Gore from Handball Ireland, to provide CPD training for teachers and S.N.S's in Ballina P.S, on Nov 20th. We had an active fun-filled session, learning new skills and participating in handball activities. Marguerite supplied our staff with valuable learning ideas, to incorporate handball in our P.E and Active Flag plans for the coming year. Míle buíochas ag gabháil léi agus leis an gClub Liathróid Láimhe i mBéal an Átha for use of their facilities.

Rang 6 participated in a 4 week cycling programme in October. In all kinds of weather, we learned valuable cycling skills to keep us safe on our roads. Thanks to Leroy and Sabian for all their help!

Lá stairiúil idir ár scoil agus an Modh Scoil Luimní. We are so proud of our history makers. This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship! Ar scáth a chéile a mhairimid!

Welcome back to Leroy from Cycle Right Ireland! We look forward to continuing our partnership and learning vital skills to keep us safe while being active!

We are delighted to focus on handball as a new sport in Ballina Primary School. Last May, we held a very successful introduction to the sport, as part of our Active School's Fortnight. We are grateful to local coaches, Paddy Collins and Karen Monaghan, National Handball Title holders, who facilitated the day. We look forward to exciting times ahead as renew our Active Flag over the next two years.

Welcome back to Marguerite Gore from GAA Handball! We were delighted to show off our handballers success in competition recently! Tús maith leath na hoibre!
