On Monday St. Kieran’s visited St. Peter’s for the second time this year to take play a friendly football match.  Both teams had children from different classes and a special mention goes to the girls on each team who ran rings around the boys! Kathleen and Kelly Anne for St. Kieran’s and Abbi for St. Peter’s  played brilliantly. The result was a draw in the end with both schools winning one match each. The next time the schools will meet will be on Monday the 28th of April! We can’t wait for our next set of matches. Thanks to Paddy, the best coach ever! By the boys... 

Congratulations to the St. Peter’s Senior football team who were runners-up in the Division 3 final of the North Wicklow League. Mr. Foley presented them with their medals during school assembly on Friday. The boys were narrowly defeated by St. Laurence’s after a great display. By coming second in their division, they qualified for a Wicklow tournament in the Centre of Excellence in Ballinakill, Rathdrum. Special mention must go to Eduard Grefaldeo who played in goal and only conceded one goal in four games, and to Jordan Whyte who won Player of the Tournament. Well done for showing such great... 

On Tuesday boys from 3rd– 6th class travelled down to beautiful Avondale to take part in a Cross Country Athletics competition. The boys ran in relay teams of four and did our school proud. It was a tough course but each of the boys tried their best and gave it their all until they reached the finish line. We were blessed that the sun was shining and we all had a wonderful day. ‘Everyone in 3rd class really enjoyed the cross country running.’ – Szymon ‘It was a hard course but we tried our best and had fun.’ –Finn ‘Each of us showed great school spirit cheering on the boys from... 

Some of our 5th and 6th class boys went to play a soccer blitz at Wolfe Tone Football pitch today. We competed against some great teams from St. Kieran’s, St. Fergal’s and Bray School Project; every school entered two teams into the Blitz. Every team played three matches each. From St. Peter’s, Team 1 won one of their matches by 3 goals to nil and Team 2 won all three of their matches! Davy Berry set up a fantastic goal against St. Kierans which Alan Duda executed perfectly! Our trainer Paddy’s “superkeeper” Eduard had a clean sheet in every match, he never... 

  On the 8th of November, a GAA tournament for fifth and sixth classes took place in Bray Emmets GAA Club. There were six local schools involved. Our first match was against St. Fergal’s B team and we floored them with a whopping three goals and one point! Our second match was against Bray School Project and we scraped through with a one goal lead. After another win against St. Fergal’s A team, we left the stadium delighted and victorious. It was a great tournament and we would like to thank Paddy for all his hard work. Thanks also to Ms. Whyte and Ms. Sexton for letting the boys go. By... 

Cross country is a running event that lots of different schools enter. Second class will be able to enter  next year,  but this year, eight people from each class entered it in teams. It was a tough competition for all the runners in Arklow. We had a good day. All the classes were having fun. Andy was the runner of the day. All the classes had class photos taken. We had a good time on the bus. Everyone was singing on the bus. A big thanks to Paddy and everyone who came along, including Ms Sexton and Ms Byrne. Everyone said we were on our best behaviour and we did our school proud.   By...

During PE we play hockey, basketball, Olympic handball, bench ball, rounders, baseball, tennis and rugby. Our...
