Sports day takes place in most primary schools at this time of year.
It is a special day and lives long in the memories of our young pupils in Ireland long after the fantastic English and math lessons are forgotten.
Sports day 2017 will forever be in the heart of our teacher Mary Lonergan.
Mary is retiring on 30th June 2017 after a long and successful career of primary teaching.
She worked in Cork and Roscrea and then has served as teacher at St Brendans PS for the past 20 years.
Along with being an amazing teacher , Mary has a great passion for sports and their value to a healthy lifestyle.
Each year her sports day that she organises in our school is a highlight of the school year for many pupils.
It is all team based and focuses on participation and enjoyment with fair-play and encouragement awards presented along with the standard prizes.
Pictured is Mary last Friday at her final sports day with us with some boys from our senior classes- the smiles tell the story by themselves.
Mile buiochas Máire don na laethanta spóirt go léir.
