All Weather Pitch

Páirc Nua: Our pupils were both excited and delighted when we were given the go-ahead to use our brand new all-weather pitch. We assembled to watch Ms. Tomlinson, who was chosen to kick the inaugural ball, launch it into the air and the 6th class on the far end of the pitch each attempted to catch that very first ball. What a spectacle it was and what a fantastic facility it is.  We feel both proud and privileged to have it. Great credit goes to the Board of Management and successive Parents’ Associations who consistently work hard and are dedicated to providing the best possible facilities for our pupils. We expect that the ground works will be finished shortly, and we will then have use of the walking track and better access from the courts via a new ramp.
