To celebrate European week of sport, all classes took part in a sporting challenge. Below are some of the photos from the Junior Infants challenge.  

On Wednesday, the senior boys set off for what was to be a fantastic day of football in the Emmets blitz.  They encountered some tough competition in their three matches. Team photo after a successful day in Emmets.   First up they took on Kilcoole and were unlucky to fall short by 2 points.  Following this, the boys dug deep to show superb character in coming back and winning their final two games.  The defence were super solid with great communication and team work on show.  Some fantastic scores by Des, Dylan F, Dean T and Nathan greatly helped the boys on their way.  Well done Peters!!!    

On October 3rd our St Peter’s runners had a great time competing at the cross-country event in Avondale. Everyone ran well and behaved excellently! Thanks to Paddy for training and preparing us all so well!  

St. Peter’s had a day to remember last Wednesday when our girls team won Division 3 of the Wicklow Times Shield. On a day of very poor weather conditions, they battled through to top a tough group that included Templerainney, Greystones Educate Together and Gaelscoil Chill Mhantàin. The girls fought back from 5-2 down to force a draw against a great Templerainney side thanks to scores from midfield pair Bridget Cox and Lauren Cheevers. The game finished 5-5. It was a different story in the second match against Greystones Educate Together as we lead 4-1 but scraped a 4-3 victory in the end...

Hi everyone, Paddy here! If you were driving past our school last week you would have been forgiven for thinking that some pupils of or school can’t get enough of the place!  Last Wednesday , Thursday and Friday every class was represented at the activity camp in the school run by the Sports Promotion Unit. The SPU run an annual, very successful camp for the children of the school. The participants got to take part in Tag Rugby, Soccer, Hurling, Hockey, Volleyball, Tennis and Rounders. They finished on Friday with a competition involving all the sports they learned and a party. Unfortunately... 

As is tradition, the St. Peter’s 6th Class played the Staff in the annual end of year game. While we won’t get into the gritty details (we’re all friends here!), the Staff did manage to sneak in a win. As always, it was a brilliant afternoon! Here are the teams! The Staff! 6th Class The teachers were very discreet, low key winners! Till next year…!
