Ardscoil Mhuire News
Annie
Despite the ravages of the recent floods, the Transition year students of Ardscoil Mhuire in association with twelve students from St. Joseph’s college Garbally held out hope that “The sun will come out tomorrow” for their production of the popular musical “ANNIE” on the 24th – 26th of November.
The inclement weather didn’t hamper the enthusiastic cast and backstage crew or stop large crowds from attending each night and once again the Ardscoil Mhuire musical proved a great success.
The success of the show was a testimony to the determination of the students, the dedication of the staff and the support of the local community.
A special thanks to Ms Fiona O’Leary,Musical Directors Ms Caroline Jacksonand Ms. Caroline Forde and T.Y. co-ordinators Ms Whelan and Ms Ryan.

Rugby
We have been very lucky this year to have youth development coaches from Connacht Rugby training Senior rugby teams during P.E. lesson times. Our 2nd and 5th year teams came second and third respectively in a rugby blitz in October. Transition years were also very successful in their blitz in December, with one team winning six out of six matches on the day. As a result of these successes a girl’s underage rugby team has been set up in Ballinasloe town on Saturdays. Well done Girls!!!
