Maths Week and Snooker

-

As part of Maths Week, our students enjoyed an exciting visit to Celbridge Snooker Club, where they had the incredible opportunity to learn the game of snooker from professional player Fergal O’Brien!

Fergal shared his skills and passion for the sport, showing the children how maths plays a big part in snooker — from angles and geometry to scoring and strategy. The children loved discovering how numbers and shapes help players make the perfect shot.

It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that combined fun, sport, and maths in a memorable way. A big thank you to Fergal O’Brien and Celbridge Snooker Club for inspiring our young mathematicians! The snooker club is open from 2pm every day.

Senior G.A.A.  Both our girls and boys senior teams were competing in Cumann na mBunscoil gaelic football since Easter. Both teams played three tight matches which ended today. The girls were very unfortunate to lose by 2 points in their last match against Scoil Choca Naofa while the boys lost by 2 after extra time. This double header will surely be core memories for the 6th class pupils involved. It is so great to see them giving their all in the Straffan NS jersey and we strongly encourage them to continue representing their future schools as well. Such great talent amongst the group.
